Istanbul's opposition mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu, was convicted of insulting a public official and sentenced to 20 months in prison. He has been imprisoned since March and is expected to appeal. The case relates to comments he made criticizing Istanbul's Chief Public Prosecutor, Akın Gürlek. İmamoğlu, a key rival to President Erdoğan, has denied the charges, which he claims are politically motivated. His arrest has sparked significant protests and criticism from opposition leaders.
