Turkey: Thousands Protest Istanbul Mayor's Arrest, Erdogan Denounces "Street Terrorism" | N18G The arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a key political rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has ignited widespread unrest across Turkey. Detained on March 19th on charges of "terrorism" and "corruption" just days before he was expected to be named a presidential candidate, Imamoglu's arrest sparked the nation's largest civil demonstration in over a decade. What began in Istanbul quickly spread to more than 55 of 81 provinces, with thousands taking to the streets for a fourth consecutive night of protest. Clashes between demonstrators and police turned violent, with firecrackers thrown in Izmir, water cannons deployed in Ankara, and tear gas and pepper spray used in Istanbul. Authorities detained over 400 protesters nationwide, while Imamoglu's Republican People's Party called for peaceful demonstrations. Despite this, the Turkish President accused the opposition party of "street terrorism," further escalating tensions. Adding to the political turmoil, Istanbul University had recently revoked Imamoglu's degree, citing irregularities, compounding the legal challenges that threaten to derail his potential 2028 presidential bid. --- Turkey | Water Cannon | Protests | Istanbul | Ekrem Imamoglu | Recep Tayyip Erdogan | Republican People's Party | Ankara | Riot | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #turkey #watercannon #protests #istanbul #ekremimamoğlu #receptayyiperdoğan #republican #ankara #riots #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
