Mass protests have broken out across Turkey following the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, a key opposition figure and potential challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The move has been widely condemned as politically motivated, sparking fears of increasing authoritarianism in the country. Despite the government's crackdown, opposition supporters remain defiant, organizing demonstrations and calling for democratic reforms. Analysts suggest that while the protests show strong public resistance, Erdoğan may be betting on his ability to suppress dissent and maintain control. The situation reflects a broader struggle between democratic aspirations and authoritarian governance in Turkey.
