Turkey places opposition broadcaster Halk TV under government trustee

Turkish police raided the offices of Halk TV, an opposition-aligned television channel, early Wednesday and halted its live broadcast. Prosecutors appointed a government trustee to run the station, which was one of Turkey's most-watched opposition channels. Authorities have now replaced leadership at five major news outlets amid a series of actions against media critical of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government.
