IMAMOĞLU'S REACTION WAS IMMEDIATE

Ekrem İmamoğlu, the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, who was arrested and sent to Silivri Prison as part of the corruption investigation against the IMM, reacted to the transfer of his colleagues to other prisons. İmamoğlu stated; "The search for slanderers, the coercion of false witnesses, the fabrications of secret witnesses, the intimidation of people I have known for 23 years in my professional life being forcibly summoned for testimony, the arrest of journalists, dawn raids, seizures, trustees… When the 'biggest of the turban' was not enough, the lie of 'the tail of the bull' etc. Now, according to the information I received at midnight, nearly 10 of my friends, who are in the same prison as me, have been transferred to other prisons in the early morning!"

"WHAT IS THIS ENEMY LAW?"

What is this greed, this revenge, this deceit, this enemy law? For God's sake, have they corrupted the institutions that are the apple of the country's eye to this extent! I call out to the Supreme Turkish Judiciary. Can a handful of people corrupt the fair judicial environment in this country to such an extent? I am calling out to the judges, prosecutors, and institutions of our judiciary, which seem to have swallowed their tongues.

"OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY A WORD"

Enough already, for God's sake, open your mouth and say a word. What is happening is truly happening to the Nation and the State. Are you still not aware?"
