Turkish police detain hundreds at Istanbul's banned LGBTIQ+ Pride March

Turkish police on Sunday broke up a banned Pride march in Istanbul, detaining more than 200 demonstrators, organisers said.

A photographer Bulent Kilic, who was taken away handcuffed from the back, was released later on Sunday after presenting a statement to the police, his lawyer said. Kaos GL Association, which campaigns to promote the human rights of LGBTIQ+ people against discrimination, said on Twitter that police had detained 12 other people in the western city of Izmir and that one of them was later released.'We are banned'

On Friday, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatovic, had urged Turkish authorities to let the demonstration go ahead and to ensure the safety of the marchers.
