Turkish riot police clash with protesters near the headquarters of Bugun newspaper and Kanalturk television station in Istanbul during a demonstration against the Turkish government's crackdown on media outlets on October 28, 2015. Riot police firing tear gas and water cannon stormed the Istanbul headquarters of a media group linked to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's bitter rival, on what was described as a dark day for democracy ahead of a pivotal election. The action triggered widespread concern about media freedom in Turkey, with critics accusing the government of trying to silence opponents of Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) before the November 1 legislative vote.
