Protests have erupted across Turkey following the arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, with many accusing the government of fabricating charges to silence him. Authorities have cracked down heavily, arresting nearly 1,900 people, including journalists. Despite the repression, protests continue nightly, increasing tensions amid accusations against President Erdogan.

    Republican People's Party
    1. My lawyer Mehmet Pehlivan was detained on fictitious grounds.
    2. My detention marked a new phase in Turkey's slide into authoritarianism and the use of arbitrary power. A country with a long democratic tradition now faces the serious risk of passing the point of no return.
    3. Realising he cannot defeat me at the ballot box, Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has resorted to other means: having his main political opponent arrested on charges of corruption, bribery, leading a criminal network and aiding the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' party, even though the charges lack credible evidence.
    4. Washington merely expressed 'concerns regarding recent arrests and protests' in Turkey. With few exceptions, European leaders have failed to offer a strong response.
