'You cannot remain silent,' detained Istanbul mayor tells judiciary

Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu on Thursday urged the judiciary to take a stand against the Turkish government's misuse of the courts to order his detention.

"I also call on tens of thousands of honourable, moral prosecutors and judges ... You should stand up and take action against those colleagues who are ruining the judiciary... you cannot and must not remain silent," he wrote on his X account in a message transmitted via his lawyers.
