Turkish police raid Zaman opposition daily

Turkish police have raided the premises of the mainstream opposition newspaper Zaman hours after a court ruling placed it under state control.


Police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the daily’s supporters who had gathered outside its headquarters in Istanbul. The raid comes after an Istanbul prosecutor appointed government-controlled trustees to run the paper. The paper’s editors have denounced the appointments as an attempt by the government to practice "a wide range witch-hunt".
