Turkey detains over 100 with alleged links to terrorism and Kurdish militants ahead of election.

TL;DR Summary
Turkish police have arrested at least 126 people suspected of links to a banned Kurdish militant group ahead of the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections. The suspects include lawyers, journalists, and politicians, and are suspected of financing and recruiting for the outlawed PKK. The main pro-Kurdish party, which has seen thousands of its members jailed, has accused the government of timing the arrests to affect the vote. The elections are being seen as Turkey's most significant for years, with six opposition parties uniting behind a single candidate in Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
