Turkey opposes crackdown targets mayor
The Turkish authorities have arrested the mayor of a neighborhood in Istanbul, who is affiliated with the opposition, along with five other individuals, on charges related to building permits and occupancy. This move comes as part of an unprecedented legal campaign against municipalities governed by the opposition party of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Police carried out raids at 11 locations in Istanbul and confiscated digital materials. The opposition denies that the investigations are politically motivated, emphasizing the independence of the judiciary, while the government states that the procedures are legal.
