Opposition supporters in Turkey are showing no signs of backing down as they continue to protest the arrest of Istanbul’s mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu. For the fourth consecutive night, crowds have gathered outside the Istanbul municipality building to demonstrate their disapproval of Mayor Imamoglu’s detention.
The protests have been peaceful but passionate, with demonstrators demanding the release of the popular mayor and expressing their frustration with the government’s actions. Imamoglu, who was elected with a significant majority in 2019, has been a vocal critic of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling party.
The ongoing protests highlight the deep divide within Turkish society and the growing discontent with the government’s crackdown on opposition figures. As tensions rise, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days.
