İmamoğlu reacts to 'expert' detentions: 'We have entered a period where those who touch get burned,' do not be afraid and do not stay silent, the ballot box will come

After Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu revealed the name of the expert who wrote reports on the Esenyurt and Beşiktaş Municipalities, calling it the "big radish" the other day, and following the detention of journalist and Cumhuriyet columnist Barış Pehlivan, who interviewed the expert and shared it with the public, as well as Halk TV Manager and Programmer Serhan Asker, he stated, "Turkey has entered a new period where 'those who touch get burned.' We will not be afraid and we will not stay silent. Do not be afraid and do not stay silent! The ballot box will come, and it will all end."

Here is the post İmamoğlu shared on his social media account:

"Turkey has entered a new period where 'those who touch get burned.' We see that the power derived from the law is being blatantly abused and that an attempt is being made to instill fear in every segment of society. We will not be afraid and we will not stay silent. Do not be afraid and do not stay silent!

The detention of journalist Barış Pehlivan and Serhan Asker is a shameful practice. We are in an absurdity where injustice has become a routine government practice, where the apparatus expert is not even a subject of investigation, yet reporting on injustice and lawlessness has turned into a crime.

The ballot box will come, and it will all end."
