This is Istanbul mayor Imamoglu shortly before his detention this morning. He calls the investigation against him “a coup against the people’s will” and vows not to back down. Imamoglu runs a city of 16 million people. Expect a big public reaction.
Istanbul University has made a legally baseless decision to annul my diploma, an act beyond its authority and a troubling sign of political interference in academia.

Türkiye draws its strength from democracy, justice, and the rule of law. When these foundations are challenged, it is not just individuals who must take a stand, but the entire nation.
This is not about me. This is about our future. No matter the challenges we face, we will not waver. We will not allow democracy to be undermined. We will not allow the will of the people to be overruled.
🇹🇷 A nation united in #solidarity for #justice cannot be stopped.
