Imprisoned CHP deputy mayor hospitalized

It has been announced that 70-year-old Bayrampaşa Deputy Mayor Lütfi Kadıoğulları, who has been imprisoned since September 16 as part of an operation targeting Bayrampaşa Mayor Hasan Mutlu and his associates, underwent an MRI today and that his health is at risk.

Lawyer Mine Cebeci Dere made the statement regarding the matter. The written statement is as follows:

"Bayrampaşa Deputy Mayor Lütfi Kadıoğulları has been imprisoned since 16/09/2025.

During his time in detention, he has been referred to Silivri State Hospital many times, including to internal medicine, cardiovascular surgery, and cardiology departments. Because he is over 70 years old, his ailments have further increased during his time in detention.

Due to the increasing effects of Myasthenia Gravis, a muscle disease originating from the brainstem, he went to the Neurology and Neurosurgery department of Silivri State Hospital for an examination on 30/01/2026.

An MRI was also performed on 06/02/2026. The progression of this condition will cause speech and swallowing disorders as well as loss of balance."
