The "The Nation Protects Its Will" rallies, which began following the arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, continue. CHP Chairman Özgür Özel will meet with citizens in Mersin tomorrow at 14:00.
Imprisoned at the Marmara Prison in Silivri, İmamoğlu addressed the people of Mersin in a statement on social media, calling for participation in the rally.
"MY HEART WILL BEAT WITH YOU"
In his post, İmamoğlu used the following expressions:
"People of Mersin, as vast as the Mediterranean and as strong as the Taurus Mountains; even though I cannot be among you tomorrow, my heart will beat in the same square, with the same excitement as yours. I will watch your gathering, which our Chairman Mr. Özgür Özel will attend, from prison; I will hear your voices, I will see you. Mersin will protect its will."
This rally draws attention as part of the events organized following the operations targeting İmamoğlu and CHP mayors.
