Crackdown in Turkey: Journalists Detained Amid Protests Over Erdogan Rival's Imprisonment

Turkish authorities have detained several journalists as protests erupt across the country following the imprisonment of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a prominent rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The mayor's arrest on corruption charges has sparked the largest wave of demonstrations in Turkey in over a decade, raising concerns about press freedom and the state of democracy.

The journalists, reportedly detained from their homes, were accused of covering the protests. Media unions have condemned the detentions as an attack on the public's right to information. Meanwhile, the protests, largely peaceful, have seen clashes with police using water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds.

Imamoglu's arrest is widely viewed as a politically motivated move to sideline a key opposition figure ahead of the 2028 presidential elections. Government officials, however, deny these allegations, insisting that the judiciary operates independently.
