Human Rights Watch: Akram Imamoglu Release Immediate – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

Human Rights Watch reacted to the arrest of Istanbul mayor Akram Imam Oglu, according to the Mehr News Agency.

“We call on the immediate release of Akram Imam Oglu, the mayor of Istanbul,” the statement said. The charges against him are political.

Hours ago Turkish sources reported the arrest of Istanbul mayor.

The sources said that Istanbul mayor Akram Imamoglu, who is the main rival of Erdogan, was arrested following various charges, but no detailed details have been released.

Officials have ordered the arrest of Istanbul mayor Akram Imam Oglu in the context of an investigation.

According to the report, the degree of education of Imamoglu and four others who were his associates have been canceled.

The revocation of Imamoglu’s degree can have a direct impact on his political future, as he is one of the most prominent rivals of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and was to be nominated as the Republican People’s candidate in the election.

According to the Turkish constitution, anyone who intends to run in the presidential election must have a higher education degree.
