Tens of thousands of people, mostly Kurds, are taking part at a massive Newroz celebration in Istanbul on Saturday, at a time when the country’s top court is considering shutting down Turkey’s main pro-Kurdish opposition party.

Newroz celebrations hold a particular importance for Kurds in Turkey, who were not allowed to celebrate the occasion which signals the beginning of spring for decades and are facing increasing pressure from the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in recent years.
