The Guardian Weekly, the weekly magazine of the respected British publication The Guardian, has featured the process that began with the detention and subsequent arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu on its cover.
The magazine's April 3 issue features a photograph of a dervish wearing a gas mask, which became a symbol of the days-long protests in Saraçhane. The cover carries the headline, "The end of Turkish democracy?"
The magazine also includes an article on the subject by Nobel laureate author Orhan Pamuk. Additionally, extensive coverage is given to the impressions of The Guardian's Middle East correspondent, Ruth Michaelson, from Istanbul.
In the magazine's introductory text, it is emphasized that the arrest of İmamoğlu has triggered the largest anti-government demonstrations in Turkey in recent years.
