Turkish police detained nearly 200 people during May Day demonstrations in Istanbul, where protesters gathered under slogans of "Bread, Peace, Freedom." The demonstrations also took place in other parts of Turkey as workers and activists marked International Workers' Day. Turkey has a history of restricting May Day gatherings, with authorities often citing security concerns and the potential for unrest when limiting or banning demonstrations in major cities.
