Turkish authorities detained dozens of LGBTQ+ activists and journalists in a coordinated operation, according to rights groups and local reports. The arrests came amid renewed pressure on Pride organizers, advocacy networks, and independent media outlets. Critics say the campaign reflects a broader effort to suppress dissent and restrict public discussion of LGBTQ+ rights. Lawyers and human rights organizations called for the detainees’ immediate release, fair legal proceedings, and an end to politically motivated prosecutions targeting activists and journalists in Turkey.
