The harsh police intervention during protests against the detention of Ekrem İmamoğlu has sparked widespread reaction on social media. Footage of a police officer delivering a flying kick to a protester carrying a flag with an image of Atatürk in Saraçhane has drawn public outrage.
Protests that began following the detention of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu on March 19 are continuing to grow across the country. Citizens gathering every evening at 8:30 PM in Istanbul's Saraçhane district continue their demonstrations despite police interventions involving pepper spray.
In an incident that took place in Saraçhane yesterday evening, footage showing a police officer delivering a flying kick to a citizen carrying a Turkish flag with an image of Atatürk on it spread rapidly on social media.
In the video, it can be seen that the protester, who was standing alone, is surrounded by police and repeatedly sprayed with pepper spray from close range despite not attempting to flee.
While this incident has caused a significant stir on social media, the fact that the protests have been met with violent police interventions has sparked public debate.
