Protesters at the İmamoğlu demonstration in Saraçhane told CHP deputy Ali Gökçek, "Since you have immunity, why don't you lead the way so that we don't have to endure this much tear gas?" Gökçek responded to the protesters by saying, "You are misunderstanding immunity."
Following the detention of Ekrem İmamoğlu as part of the investigation into terrorism and corruption at İBB, protests have been held in front of the İBB building in Saraçhane for the past three evenings. During the demonstrations, tensions occasionally arose between the police and the protesters, with law enforcement intervening with tear gas.
"YOU MISUNDERSTAND IMMUNITY"
After the tear gas intervention, a notable dialogue occurred between a protesting individual and CHP Istanbul Deputy Ali Gökçek. The protester said to Gökçek, "Since you have immunity, why don't you walk in front so we don't have to inhale so much tear gas?" Gökçek replied, "Look, you are misunderstanding immunity."
"WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU INHALED TEAR GAS"
Another protester said to Gökçek, "I don't believe you inhaled tear gas or were hit by a bullet. None of us believe it."
