Turkey’s nationwide LGBTQ raids spark rights concerns
Turkish police conducted nationwide raids on LGBTQ groups, bars, and activists, detaining at least 63 people and opening investigations into 162 suspects as part of the 'My Family is Safe' operation tied to Erdogan’s Decade of Family and Population; authorities also blocked LGBTQ group websites, drawing condemnation from rights groups and the European Parliament as a crackdown on civil society.
