Over 1,400 Detained amid Protests: Yerlikaya
More than 1,400 people have been detained in connection with the mass protests that have swept Turkey since March 19, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Tuesday.
"To date, 1,418 suspects have been detained in illegal demonstrations held since March 19, 2025," he wrote on X.
Following İmamoğlu’s detention, the Istanbul Governor’s Office issued a four-day ban on March 19, prohibiting all manner of marches and gatherings across the metropolis.
Amid escalating calls for street demonstrations for the weekend, authorities in Ankara and İzmir imposed five-day restrictions on March 21, further tightening the ban.
The investigation accuses the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) of aiding the PKK/KCK terrorist group, igniting unrest nationwide in recent days.
