Turkish authorities have detained 42 people following a major demonstration in Istanbul on Tuesday (1.7.2025) marking 100 days since the arrest and removal of the city’s former mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu. They are accused of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and resisting security forces, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said. Thousands of people demonstrated outside Istanbul’s city hall in support of Imamoglu, a popular politician from the largest opposition party, the CHP, and a key rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The CHP has faced an intensifying legal crackdown in recent months.
