Show Notes
Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a top opposition figure, stands trial alongside 402 others on corruption charges, dating back to 2015. Critics view this as a political attack, aiming to undermine his challenge to President Erdogans rule in the upcoming 2028 election. Imamoglu, who has been in jail for nearly a year, faces 142 counts that could result in over two thousand years in prison. The massive trial, with a 3900-page indictment, raises concerns over fair trial rights and the governments use of the justice system to sideline key opponents.
