Mass Protests Erupt in Turkey After Imamoglu's Arrest

🇹🇷 TURKEY ERUPTS IN PROTEST

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Istanbul in defiance of a nationwide protest ban after opposition leader and Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu was arrested and jailed pending trial on corruption charges.

Many believe Imamoglu’s arrest is politically motivated — a strategic move by President Erdogan to eliminate his biggest challenger ahead of the 2028 presidential election.

Sky News' Alex Crawford reports from the front lines, where demonstrators were met with rubber bullets and pepper spray in a dramatic escalation of tension.

📢 Is this the beginning of a larger movement?
