'Political Coup': Turkish Opposition's Istanbul HQ Seized By Police Amid Clashes

"Istanbul is on edge and on the brink of more violence amid Erdogan's ongoing crackdown on the country's main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), which on Sunday urged
citizens and residents of Istanbul to take to the streets and gather after police set up barricades in areas around its Istanbul headquarters.

Authorities are blaming CHP officials for causing unrest while disrupting the public order, after hours of mayhem. The scene outside CHP Istanbul Provincial Headquarters was of tense police clashes with protesters, after which the court-appointed interim leader of CHP finally entered the party’s office under police protection."
