There is now another Massive Protest.
Erdogan Leader has banned Protests.
he has held power for 23 years.
That is Not Democracy.
[Police in Istanbul have used tear gas and rubber
bullets against demonstrators
in a second night of disorder after
the arrest of the
Mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu - despite a four-day
protest ban being in place.
Imamoglu - a member of the
secular Republican People's Party (CHP)
and a key rival of
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan - was set
to be named as a presidential candidate
for the 2028 presidential elections
later this week.
On Wednesday, he was one of 106 people
held on charges including corruption
and aiding terrorist groups.
Since then, authorities in Turkey have
arrested dozens of people for "provocative" social
media posts.
Responding to the protests,
Turkey's President Erdogan accused
his political opponents of theatrics
for taking part in a second night
of demonstrations.
"They have lost the balance so much
that they are in a state to attack
our police, hurl threats at judges,
prosecutors," he said.
Addressing a crowd of demonstrators
outside Istanbul's city hall, Ozgur Ozel,
the leader of Imamoglu's CHP party,
accused the government of attempting
a "coup" and said people had the
right to protest.]
