Turkish authorities detained Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu – a key rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – on Wednesday as part of corruption and terrorism investigations.
Detention orders were also issued for around 100 others connected to the mayor, including his press adviser Murat Ongun, according to state-run news agency Anadolu Agency. Among those detained are elected Istanbul district mayors Resul Emrah Sahan and Murat Calik.
The move came just days before the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) was scheduled to hold a primary election where Imamoglu was expected to be chosen as its presidential candidate.
CHP leader Ozgur Ozel called the detention “a coup attempt against our next president.”

Turkish authorities have detained a prominent investigative journalist and four of his colleagues and replaced an elected pro- Kurdish mayor with a state appointee on Wednesday, escalating a recent government crackdown on the opposition and dissenting voices.
Critics say the crackdown follows significant losses by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling party i n local elections in March as well as growing calls for early national elections. Government officials insist that the courts operate independently and reject claims that legal actions against opposition figures are politically motivated.
Investigative journalist Baris Pehlivan was taken under custody late on Tuesday along with Halk TV television channel’s chief editor Serhan Asker and presenter Seda Selek., the station said. The detentions came hours after Halk TV broadcast a recording of a phone conversation that Pehlivan held with an expert employed by courts to provide opinions. Critics accuse the court assessor of providing biased reports against mayors belonging to the country’s main opposition party.

The Turkish lira fell to a record low against the dollar and the country’s benchmark stock index dropped by as much as 7% following the surprise arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu — a rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and leading opposition party figure — on charges he denies.
The lira was trading as low as 40.96 to the U.S. dollar, according to Refinitiv data, before moving to 38.74 by 12:47 p.m. in Istanbul, with the greenback up 5.53% on the long-embattled Turkish currency. The BIST 100 stock index had pared losses after being down as much as 7% earlier in the morning.
Imamoglu, who won the mayorship of Turkey’s most populous city in April of 2023, was arrested on charges including terrorism and organized crime, according to state media outlet Anadolu, which cited the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office. The news agency reported that prosecutors also issued warrants for 100 other people in Imamoglu’s political party.

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/europe/art...39642_143.htmlHundreds of thousands protest in Turkey to defend democracy
Hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered for a mass rally in Istanbul on Saturday, March 29, at the call of Turkey's main opposition CHP over the jailing of city mayor and top party figure Ekrem Imamoglu whose arrest has sparked the country's biggest street demonstrations in over a decade.
The mass protests over Imamoglu's March 19 detention have prompted a repressive government response that has been sharply condemned by rights groups and drawn criticism from abroad.
The rally in Maltepe on the Asian side of Istanbul comes on the eve of the Eid al-Fitr celebration marking the end of Ramadan, which starts Sunday.
Widely seen as the only Turkish politician capable of challenging President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the ballot box, Imamoglu was elected as the CHP's candidate for the 2028 presidential race on the day he was jailed.

Preview of 2028 here
Quit parkin' your rump on the panic button, bum.
You won't have to contend with Trump, and anybody/R that comes after him will return to the fore and we will assume our normal programming pre 2017. By Summer of '28 apple pie order will be accomplished and you can rest your head once again, angel-pie.
He's every bit the nazi I said he was gonna be last year. You think he's not going to steal an election when he is literally above the law when he tried it four years ago when there were actual repercussions? The United States is dead and the era of free elections is over; this is a full on fascist totalitarian state now.
He has every right to attempt such an act. Your side never permitted him to be President. You threatened his life and the lives of his family day one in '17. You dogged him for 4 years, with 2 impeachments and assassination threats. And it was just to hound him of office, get him to quit so you could be in charge once again, and because he'd taken Hillary's 2nd 8 year term after Obama had robbed her of her first 8 year term.
This has pissed him off no end, bum. He wasn't a politician, did not understand the game. He thought once he was elected he'd be left alone to preside for 4 years. But he never had that, and it was an outrage to him. He honestly could not make sense of it when most of the people attacking him had been his "friend" thru the decades, had even come to him for money and he'd given it gladly. He'll never be over that betrayal.
Then in a last ditch effort to deny him the second term your side read the polls (the real ones, not the ones we get) and found out he was the prohibitive favorite, so, you had the SS stand down and shot him in Pennsylvania. That didn't kill him, so, you shot at him again in Florida and missed. It will be a miracle if he sees Summer.
He's incensed now-off the kilter-blood drunk-looking to avenge himself. I don't blame him an iota.
Your side did this and you all are so self absorbed you can't see it, old horse.
I relegated myself ya piece of filth.
YOU never accepted MY bet. So don’t change anything in those posts.
AND I asked you twice. You NEVER responded to ME.
I stopped posting well BEORE the election dumbass, nothing to do with anything on this board.
DO YOUR hunting now and you will see.
Fckn idiot conspiri as always.
What does that mean, bum?
I've been in his doghouse as well, for months.
You pile drived the guy into the concrete. He doesnt even know what it means.
I'm visiting Turkey in a few weeks. Swinging my Polska passport. USA in koffer just in case
Turkey has alot on its plate but I trust them as ally. Visited many times. We want a stable Turkey.
Hopefully
Bro. He is in power for 4-8 years. How much can he truly change when busy arguing overseas.
For better and worse there will never be a totalitarian in USA. I understand it isn't on your terms- but America First. Your country that you work for, that your family sweats for.... First. Wave the flag. Not my birth but I still speak proudly of my second home. Again. Maybe not on your terms but he will put your passport first
I see on IG. Crazy. People are openly stating comments that were banned 10 years ago. That is when I changed. I am proud the West woke up. And it will only increase with the younger generation. West comeback
