Protesters gathered outside the Istanbul city hall for a sixth day of protest on Monday evening, in defiance of a ban on rallies. They're angry about the arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu - the mayor of Istanbul and a key political rival of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Demonstrators accuse the Turkish president of trying to remove a major opponent ahead of elections in 2028. Mr İmamoğlu was taken into custody pending trial on corruption charges.
