Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu's arrest sparks mass protests • FRANCE 24 English

After his third night in custody, Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu was to appear before prosecutors Saturday, just hours after hundreds of thousands hit the streets across Turkey in a massive show of defiance. It was the third straight night that protesters had rallied against the arrest of Imamoglu – the biggest political rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose arrest early Wednesday sparked Turkey's biggest street protests in more than a decade.
