In a controversial move, Turkish prosecutors have filed a staggering indictment against Ekrem Imamoglu, the opposition mayor of Istanbul, seeking a total jail sentence of over 2,000 years for alleged corruption. The indictment includes 142 charges, which critics label as politically motivated and a means to suppress dissent against President Erdoğan. Imamoglu, a prominent rival, is currently serving time and has become an enduring symbol of opposition in Turkey. This case against him reflects broader concerns regarding the state of democracy and justice in the country, with many viewing it as an attempt to stifle political opposition.
