- Story Text: Hundreds of protesters rallying in Istanbul clashed with police on Friday night (March 21) over what they call the undemocratic detention of Istanbul's mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu.
Demonstrators were seen chanting and waving flags, as well as directing a burning metal cart toward police when clashes started to break out.
President Tayyip Erdogan warned on Friday that Turkey would not tolerate street violence or public disruptions after the detention of Imamoglu prompted some of the biggest shows of civil disobedience in more than a decade.
