Turkey Detains Opposition Officials, Stocks Fall Again

In Turkey, authorities detained more officials from the main opposition party, the CHP.

These actions follow a court ruling that removed the party’s Istanbul leader and is part of a larger investigation into alleged wrongdoing.

The detentions have led to a drop in the stock market and prompted the central bank to intervene to stabilize the lira.

The CHP denies the accusations, calling them politically motivated.

There are also concerns about the potential removal of the CHP's national party chief, which could harm the country's democracy.

Protests are expected.
