💨 Abstract

A Turkish court imprisoned Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, President Tayyip Erdogan's main political rival, pending trial. This decision, part of a corruption investigation, has drawn criticism as politicized from the main opposition party, European leaders, and tens of thousands of protesters. A separate ruling on a terror-related investigation is yet to be issued. The move is expected to spark significant protests in Turkey.
