Erdoğan rival jailed: Opposition cries foul in Turkiye ...Iraq

İmamoğlu, a key opposition figure and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s main political rival, also faces charges of alleged ties to terrorism. He appeared in court late Saturday alongside 90 other defendants at Istanbul’s Çağlayan Courthouse.

The mayor’s detention has intensified political unrest, with his CHP party’s supporters rallying in multiple cities including İstanbul, Ankara, and İzmir. Many critics view the case as politically motivated, aimed at sidelining him ahead of Turkiye’s 2028 presidential election. The government denied these allegations, insisting that the judiciary remains independent.

According to Cumhuriyet newspaper, İmamoğlu underwent five hours of police questioning on Saturday over accusations of aiding the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Two days earlier, he had been interrogated for four hours in a separate corruption probe. So far, he has rejected all charges against him.
