Mass protests erupted in Istanbul, led by the opposition CHP party, following the arrest of their leader Ekrem Imamoglu. His detention on corruption charges, widely viewed as politically motivated, galvanized hundreds of thousands of demonstrators demanding his release and justice. Imamoglu is considered a significant challenger to President Erdogan in the upcoming elections. The protests culminated in a rally where supporters denounced the charges against him, and Imamoglu sent a strong message from prison, emphasizing national unity against oppression. The CHP has called for a boycott of media perceived as supportive of the Erdogan administration.
I am not afraid at all. Because our dear nation is united. We will not bow to tyranny. From my endless cell, I cry out: The nation is great.
CHP leader Ozgur Ozel stated, 'The charges against the mayor were baseless and politically motivated,' urging a boycott of pro-Erdogan media.
