Protests that began with the detention of Ekrem İmamoğlu and 99 others as part of the corruption and terrorism investigation launched against the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality continued with the arrest of many individuals.
While many people were detained during the protests, an indictment was prepared for 189 individuals. The first hearing of the case was held today.
JOURNALISTS' CASES SEPARATED
Upon the request of the lawyers for the separation of the journalists' cases, the court panel separated the files of 8 journalists and 4 lawyers. The hearing was postponed due to the inadequacy of the courtroom and the large number of defendants and defense attorneys. It was decided that 45 individuals would be tried in July. The trial date for the other 45 individuals will be announced later.
HEARING OF 99 STUDENTS POSTPONED
The hearing of 99 students who were tried today due to the Saraçhane protests has been postponed to October 3, 2025.
