Protests have erupted in Turkey after Istanbul’s mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, was detained just days before he was set to be chosen as a presidential candidate.
Authorities accuse him of corruption and aiding a terrorist group, sparking public outrage and nationwide demonstrations.
Police have arrested 100 people, and the government has restricted public gatherings and social media access.
Imamoglu and his party claim the arrest is politically motivated, calling it a „coup against our next president.“
The move has drawn international criticism, while concerns grow over Turkey’s shift towards autocracy.
Turkish „Democracy“ in action. I really wonder when will Europe, the center of human rights activism in the world, will start doing anything about Erdogan.
This is the 2nd NATO member in a few weeks that has arrested an opposition leader and a person who had a legitimate chance at winning an election. It takes vigilance to maintain democracy and that’s a vigilance most people just dont have.
You know democracy is in risk when opposition got arrested.
