Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said protests over the jailing of Istanbul's mayor had become a "movement of violence" and that the main opposition party would be held accountable for injured police officers and property damage.
The detention last Wednesday of Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, Erdogan's main political rival, has triggered Türkiye’s biggest street protests in over a decade.
On Sunday, a court jailed him, pending trial, on corruption charges that he denies.
