Following the detention of CHP Youth Branch President Cem Aydın on January 20, a lawsuit was filed against İBB Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu due to his remarks regarding Akın Gürlek.
Regarding Akın Gürlek, İmamoğlu had said, "We will rip the mind that governs you out of this nation's consciousness to save even your own children from these treatments. We will rip it out so that no one shows up at your children's door."
