Two journalists were detained in Istanbul during the last arrest of media workers covering the biggest Turkey demonstrations in more than a decade, their outlets said.

Elif Bayburt, who works for the press agency Etkin, and Nisa Suda Demirel, on the Evresel news website, were arrested in the morning raids who also saw political activists and trade unionists apprehended by the police.

“Our journalist, Nisa Sude Demirel, was detained by the police who came to her house around 6 am this morning,” said Evresel in a statement.

“Demirel, who followed the demonstrations and boycotts of universities, was taken to the branch of the Police Services of Istanbul.”

International Press Freedom NGO Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemned arrests.

“There is no end to the detention of journalists,” said his representative in Türkiye, Erol Onderolu.

The Union of Turkish Journalists (TGS) asked that the media be authorized to do their job and demanded the “end to these illegal detentions”.

Earlier this week, 11 journalists were arrested in morning raids.

Although initially imprisoned while waiting for the trial, they were released on Thursday but are still faced with “participating in illegal rallies and marches”.

The Turkey's broadcasting authority published a prohibition on a 10 -day aerodynamic wave on Sozcu TV on Thursday, as well as fines and programs suspensions to other opposition chains.

A journalist for the British national public broadcaster, the BBC, was also expelled on Thursday.

Mamolu Arrest Sparks Furore

The mass demonstrations broke out last week following the arrival of the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Mamolu, member of the Republican Popular Party of the Opposition (CHP) and considered a key rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdoan.

Istanbul's night rallies organized by the CHP ended on Tuesday, but in other cities, largely peaceful demonstrations have continued.

However, the police used tear gas, water cannons and plastic pellets to remove demonstrations that have been prohibited in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.

Mamoluwas has imprisoned the trial awaiting corruption that many consider a political motivation.

The government insists that the judiciary is independent and exempt from political interference.

The courts of Turkey face a peak in cases following demonstrations.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said nearly 1,900 people had been arrested since March 19.
