Turkish authorities have detained more than 100 people during demonstrations organised by the country’s Communist Party against NATO, Reuters reports. The arrests come as Turkey prepares to host a NATO summit on Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing alliance leaders together for high-level discussions. According to footage and statements cited in the report, members of the Communist Party of Turkey staged protests ahead of the gathering, chanting slogans such as “NATO is a killer, get out of our country.” Security forces moved in to disperse the demonstrations, leading to multiple detentions. The Turkish government has not yet issued a detailed statement on the arrests, while the scale of the security response highlights heightened tensions surrounding the upcoming summit.
