Turkish authorities escalate crackdown on opposition-run Istanbul municipality

Turkish authorities have intensified their crackdown on the Istanbul municipality, detaining 30 individuals, including a former MP and three district mayors. These detentions are linked to corruption investigations, marking the fifth wave of legal action against the opposition-run administration since Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu's arrest. The opposition views these actions as politically motivated, while the government maintains the judiciary's independence.
