Turkish Police Launch Nationwide Crackdown on Kurdish Activists and Opponents Ahead of Pivotal Election

Raids were carried out in 21 provinces, with 110 people detained for alleged links to the PKK Kurdish militant group.
Those arrested include politicians, journalists, lawyers and human rights activists critical of Erdogan's government.
The crackdown comes just months before Turkey's next election, where Erdogan faces a strong challenge to his two-decade rule.
Erdogan's party aims to curb support for the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party, the second largest opposition group in parliament.
Rights groups condemned the arrests as an attempt by Erdogan to intimidate dissent and eliminate political opposition.
