The claim frames the measure as 'legal action'; the sources describe arrests/detentions during a police crackdown (BBC headline: 'Turkey arrests dozens in crackdown on LGBTQ+ activists'; DW: '162 arrested in LGBTQ+ raids'), which is a related but not identical framing.
The claim says '13 venues' whereas the BBC source says '13 businesses'; the terms are close paraphrases.
The exact publication dates of the DW and BBC reports could not be retrieved; both describe the same operation and likely draw on the same Turkish official statements, which limits their independence from one another.
The BBC reports the figures as covering actions 'across 15 provinces', a geographic detail omitted in the claim.
