Pro-democracy demonstrators return to Istanbul’s streets for huge rally

Hundreds of thousands of democratic protesters returned to Istanbul, Türkiye to support the city’s prison market.

Ekrem Imamoglu, a major political rival of Turkish’s major political rivals RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN, was arrested for corruption last week and raised a lot of protests.

He refused prosecution and claimed that arrests were politically motivated. IMAMOGLU is currently being held in a solitary prison at a high security prison outside Istanbul.

The crowd on Saturday was so big that it was poured into a neighboring park from the protest site. IMAMOGLU, president of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), read the prison politician letter to the protesters.

Reuters said, “I have no fear. You are behind me and next to me. I have no fear because the state is united. The state is united with the oppressor.” It was accompanied by the AI ​​creation video of Imamoglu reading his letter in prison.

IMAMOGLU’s wife, Dilek, also attended a protest and to the crowd, “We will continue to fight, fight and fight.”

The protesters gathered under the blue sky without clouds and shook the red and white flag of Türkiye and “Rights, Law, Definition!”

IMAMOGLU has been a Istanbul market since 2019 and has won last year’s market elections.

He is widely regarded as the only Turkish politician who can challenge Erdogan and his definition and development party in the ballot box.

Since the arrest of Imamo Glue was arrested early this month, a series of democratic democratic protests have been driven out.

They also raised concerns that they would not face free and fair trials when his incident was heard in court.

The government insisted that the arrest of Imamoglu was politically motivated and the Turkish court was completely independent.

ERDOGAN insisted on the amount of “distance terror”.Protesters attack the police and damage public property.

Sometimes the riot police tried to dissolve these protests using tear gas and rubber bullets.
