Breaking News: New post from Ekrem İmamoğlu! 'For the future of Turkey...'

Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu was arrested on corruption charges, but was released following a city consensus.

Following the arrest decision, a new message was shared from İmamoğlu's social media account.

The post is as follows:

"My dear fellow citizens,

Turkey woke up to a great betrayal today.

The ongoing judicial process is not a legal proceeding. It is a complete summary execution.

I invite our nation to join the struggle for rights with a sense of responsibility. This struggle for rights is a matter concerning the future of our nation and our children.

For the future of Turkey, make sure to cast your vote today. Then, meet in the democracy squares in Istanbul's Saraçhane and in our other provinces to raise your voices.

It is a day to take responsibility and join the struggle for rights against those who steal the national will.

Together, without leaving anyone behind."
