During an on-air CNN report about how Turkey was stifling dissent on the one-year anniversary of the Taksim Square protests in Istanbul, Turkey proved its point by detaining reporter Ivan Watson in the middle of a broadcast.

Turkey has been making headlines for the Prime Minister's heavy-handed response to social media being used for protest organizing and to expose his own corruption.
