Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu is set to appear in court on Saturday following his detention on charges of corruption, bribery, and alleged links to terrorism. His supporters claim the move is politically motivated, with President Erdogan’s government accused of targeting political rivals ahead of upcoming elections. Protests have erupted in Istanbul and Ankara, with Turkish police using force to disperse demonstrators.

Al Jazeera’s Sinem Koseoglu reports from Istanbul.
