More than 200 arrested in raids, comedian and journalists jailed, gay-friendly cruise turned away and protests banned

The arrests followed a ban on demonstrations in Ankara that was put in place until 10 July.

The watchdog group said the Nato summit, which starts on Tuesday, was taking place in the context of intensifying violations of basic rights, “including far-reaching restrictions on the main political opposition party, the media, and freedom of expression in general”.
