Istanbul’s elected mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, a leading opposition figure, was unjustly removed from office and imprisoned based on politically motivated charges.

Since his arrest, his photos have been banned in public spaces, and his access to lawyers and visitors has been restricted — a clear violation of democratic and human rights.

Peaceful protesters across Türkiye have also been detained.
