Turkish police have arrested several journalists, rights activists, academics and members of leftist groups, according to media and unions in Turkey on Sunday.
The raids across several provinces come as the Turkish government, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, steps up security operations in the run-up to a NATO summit taking place in Ankara on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Turkish authorities have imposed a strict ban on public gatherings in Ankara ahead of the summit.
Despite that ban, left-wing protesters demonstrated against NATO in Ankara on Sunday.Police clashed with demonstrators and made some arrests during an Ankara protest on SundayImage: Adem Altan/AFP
