Istanbul: Turkish prosecutors have asked a court that the Estabul prison, Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, and four of his assistants, pending trial for terrorism and corruption charges, said the Imamoglu office, like thousands of people throughout the nation protest what they call their nodemocratic detention. Imamoglu, a key opposition figure and a possible challenger of President Tayyip Erdogan, was arrested Wednesday for charges of said graft and helping a terrorist group.
