The person wears a gas mask and stands with a composed posture amid the chaos. 2. The same person in black robes and a tall brown felt hat stands calmly with arms folded while being sprayed with pepper spray by riot police. The individual wears a gas mask and stands on a wet street littered with water bottles. A line of police in helmets and shields labeled “Polis” stands in the background. 3.

Turkish police have detained Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a key opposition figure and rival of President Erdogan, as part of investigations into alleged corruption and terror links.

It is seen as a major escalation in the government’s crackdown on opposition and dissent.
