On Sunday night, @emin_ozmen captured scenes in Istanbul as tens of thousands of people took to the streets in front of its city hall for the fifth night in a row, protesting the detention of Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul and main political opponent of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Özmen’s images depict gatherings of protestors and riot police on the streets, leading to clashes where police fired rubber bullets and clouds of tear gas into the crowds. İmamoğlu was arrested on March 19 under corruption and bribery charges, along with dozens of his staff, on the same day as his nomination to run for president as the leader of the social democratic Republican People’s Party that same day. Prior to his arrest, Istanbul University stripped İmamoğlu of his diploma, without which he cannot run for president. As of March 24, over 1,100 protestors and several journalists have been detained by Turkish police.
