Turkey has so far detained 786 people for social media posts and protests criticising its military offensive in Syria, the government said on Monday.
Authorities have been cracking down on protests and social media criticisms of its military operation in Syria's northwestern Afrin region, accusing perpetrators of engaging in "terror propaganda."
Turkish government last month launched an air and ground offensive, dubbed Operation Olive Branch.
An Interior Ministry statement on Monday says at least 587 incidents of social media "propaganda" and 85 protests had occurred since Jan. 20
