Turkish news reports say 87 people have been arrested in a series of raids targeting those suspected of participating in weeks of anti-government protests. Turkey’s interior minister said 62 people have been arrested in Istanbul alone with more arrests in the capital Ankara. Police earlier detained roughly a dozen demonstrators who defied a government crackdown by remaining in Istanbul’s Taksim Square, which has been at the center of protests challenging Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan.
