Following the police intervention, Ozel led tens of thousands of supporters on a march from CHP headquarters to the Turkish parliament, vowing to continue resisting what the party has described as a “judicial coup”.

“I will continue to govern the CHP from my office in the parliament,” Ozel told the crowd.
