Ekrem İmamoğlu shares post regarding banned book 'The Nation is My Witness': It is now entrusted to you

Imprisoned presidential candidate and elected Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu made a statement on his social media account regarding his book "The Nation is My Witness," which contains his defense.

In the post made from the "Presidential Candidate Office" account, İmamoğlu stated that the book was confiscated during the printing process and announced that the text has now met with readers in a digital format.

My right to defense was restricted, and it turned into a book. The book was confiscated while it was still being printed at the press.

Thus, my interrogation text could not even be printed as a book.

Due to completely unlawful interventions, neither I nor you were able to see this book.

We have reached this point through the illegal actions and decisions of the judiciary.

Today, it has met with you digitally. It is now entrusted to you!

— Ekrem İmamoğlu

In the post, it was stated that the book had previously been unable to reach readers due to "unlawful interventions." İmamoğlu's statement was announced to the public following the digital publication of the book.
