Protesters in Turkey rally 'for justice' after mayor's arrest

Mar 23, 2025

Istanbul [Turkey], March 23: Protests have raged on for a fourth night in Istanbul following the arrest of the city's mayor, part of the largest demonstrations Turkey has seen in more than a decade.
Ekrem Imamoglu, a rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was detained on Wednesday, days before he was due to be selected as a 2028 presidential candidate.
Imamoglu appeared at an Istanbul court on Saturday after being detained on charges including corruption and aiding terrorist groups. He has denied the allegations.
In a speech on Saturday, Erdogan repeated his condemnation of the unrest and accused Imamoglu's opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) of trying to "disturb the peace and polarise our people".
