Turkish Police Use Teargas to Disperse Protest Led by Ousted Opposition Leader

26 Mayıs 2026The Guardian

Riot police in Turkey used teargas and water cannon to disperse a protest led by Özgür Özel, the ousted opposition leader of the CHP. This rally took place in Izmir shortly after a court ruling removed him from his elected position.
The incident follows a violent crackdown on CHP members at their headquarters in Ankara, highlighting escalating tensions within the political landscape.
Turkey has seen increasing political unrest, particularly surrounding the actions of the ruling government against opposition parties. The CHP, as the main opposition, has faced significant challenges, including legal actions against its leaders.
The use of force against peaceful protesters raises serious concerns about the state of democracy in Turkey. The dismissal of Özgür Özel, coupled with police violence, suggests a troubling trend of suppressing dissent and undermining opposition voices.
