Ekrem Imamoglu a été auditionné pendant plusieurs heures vendredi et devrait être présenté samedi soir à un juge.
Massive protests erupted in Istanbul following the arrest of Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, with tens of thousands defying President Erdoğan. Imamoglu, accused of "corruption" and "terrorism," denies the charges, while the opposition denounces a "coup d'état." The arrest, coupled with the earlier annulment of his university degree, is seen by some as a political move to block Imamoglu's potential presidential aspirations. Authorities restricted access to the protest site, but the demonstrations continued, evoking memories of the 2013 Gezi Park protests.
