Istanbul Mayor Corruption Probe

Jailed Istanbul Mayor Imamoglu Denies "Terrorism" Charges

Ekrem Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul, was arrested and deposed by the Turkish government. This move has triggered massive protests across Turkey, with demonstrations in over a dozen cities, including Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. The government claims that the arrest is due to Imamoglu's alleged involvement in corruption and terrorism, but his supporters argue that the charges are politically motivated, aimed at sidelining a key opposition leader and rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
