Turkish authorities released 106 people detained in a security crackdown targeting LGBTQ+ activists, according to AFP.

The arrests followed renewed opposition to LGBTQ+ rights from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who described LGBTQ+ ideology as a denial of human nature. Protesters took to the streets across Turkey demanding the release of those detained.

Despite the releases, courts ordered 62 people to remain in detention pending investigations.
