Protests and Unrest in Turkey

This chapter explores the intense protests in Turkey following the arrest of Istanbul's mayor on corruption charges, perceived as a political move to suppress opposition ahead of elections. The unrest has drawn a diverse crowd rallying for democracy but has faced harsh government backlash, including the labeling of demonstrators as 'street terrorists.' Additionally, the chapter touches on international developments, including violence in Lebanon and the impact of the Taliban's policies on Afghan girls' education.
