TURKEY’S Kemalist opposition have revealed the repression they face as they campaign against handing sweeping powers to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in April’s constitutional referendum.

Members of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) said they have experienced threats, violence, arbitrary arrest, exclusion by the media and even sabotage.

The Associated Press quoted CHP MP and former journalist Utku Cakirozer yesterday as saying: “Those who advocate a No vote are faced with a series of obstructions.”
