Tension before the opening ceremony Özgür Özel will attend: Police wanted to remove the Resul Emrah Şahan banner, the public did not allow it

The Kuştepe Sports Facility and Underground Parking Lot, implemented by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) in the Şişli district, is being opened today with a ceremony. A notable development occurred during the preparations for the event, where CHP Chairman Özgür Özel and İBB Deputy Mayor Nuri Aslan are expected to be present.

A banner featuring the words "Let Resul Emrah Şahan do his job" was hung at the artificial turf field where the opening will take place, in support of Şişli Mayor Resul Emrah Şahan, who has been in custody for some time. However, instructions came from police teams before the ceremony to remove the banner. This attempt by the police was quickly met with a reaction from citizens. CHP Şişli District Chairman Canercan Kartal also opposed the intervention and stood against the removal of the banner.

Following the reactions, it was decided that the banner would remain in place.
