💨 Abstract

Istanbul University revoked the degree of Turkish mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a main opposition presidential candidate, due to irregularities. Imamoglu, who denies any wrongdoing, plans to challenge the decision in court. Critics see it as an effort to curb dissent and another step in Turkey's democratic backsliding. The move comes amid a crackdown on opposition figures and numerous indictments against Imamoglu.
