The agony of Turkish democracy, victim of the regime's confinement

The state of democracy in Turkey has significantly deteriorated over the past decade under Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rule. The country faces a wave of repression, with numerous arrests of opposition mayors and municipal officials occurring daily. Judicial actions have led to the closure of hundreds of social media accounts, with a notable increase in detentions, reaching over 434,000 inmates, surpassing Russia's prison population. The incarceration rate in Turkey is approaching that of the United States, highlighting the grim reality of political life in the country.
