On Sunday, a court in Turkey officially arrested the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, and placed him in custody amid corruption allegations. Imamoglu, who is also a prominent opponent of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was taken into custody after authorities searched his home earlier this week. His detention has led to the most significant surge in public protests in Turkey in over ten years.
