A few days before his planned nomination for presidential candidate, the opposition politician Imamoglu was arrested in Istanbul. Now several online portals have been disturbed.
According to reports, several social networks and short message services can only be used to a limited extent after reporting the Mayor of Istanbul and the leading Turkish opposition politician Ekrem Imamoglu. Many Turks described throttles and restrictions on X, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and other services.
Imamoglu was arrested in the morning; He is accused of corruption and connections to the forbidden Kurdish Workers’ Party PKK by the judiciary. He is considered the most promising challenger of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and was to be drawn up by his party as a presidential candidate on Sunday. In Turkey, mayors, which run against the terrorist investigation, have often been replaced by government -related forced administrators.
