Turkish opposition leader Özgür Özel is challenging a court ruling that nullified his leadership in the Republican People's Party (CHP), which strengthens President Erdogan's power. The ruling led to protests in Ankara, with Özel condemning it as a 'judicial coup'. The appeals court's decision also replaces the party's executive, raising concerns about the future of the opposition. Erdogan's government is accused of targeting rivals, and there are fears of snap elections amid economic struggles. Additionally, Erdogan ordered the closure of Istanbul's Bilgi University, prompting backlash from the academic community.
