‘We aren’t scared’: Meet the Turkish students defying Erdogan

The first trials of those arrested during recent anti-government protests in Turkey are expected to open this Friday. The rallies were sparked by the arrest one month ago of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, seen as a key rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

FRANCE 24’s reporters Andrew Hilliar, Julie Dungelhoeff and Amar al-Hameedawi went to meet them.
