Turkish police storm CHP headquarters

Turkish police storm CHP headquarters

Violence erupted in Ankara as Turkish police stormed the headquarters of the Republican People's Party (CHP), the country's main opposition group.

Officers deployed tear gas and rubber bullets to evict party officials and supporters who had occupied the building for three days.

The standoff was sparked by a court ruling that annulled the internal election of the party's leadership, a move critics describe as politically motivated.

The raid has drawn sharp condemnation from human rights groups and opposition figures who view it as an assault on democratic institutions.
