Turkish riot police on Sunday fired tear gas and forced entry into the main opposition party’s headquarters to evict the ousted leadership.
According to Reuters, clouds of tear gas billowed within the Republican People’s Party (CHP) building while those inside shouted and threw objects at the entrance as police broke through a makeshift barricade.
This follows the ousting of CHP leader Ozgur Ozel by a Turkish court on Thursday, thus annulling the 2023 results that showed him as elected. On Sunday, Ankara’s governor ordered the eviction of those inside the headquarters.
