Turkey: 3 opposition mayors arrested 'as part of organized crime investigation'

|
Three mayors affiliated with the opposition have been arrested in Turkey. This was reported by local media, which claimed that the arrests were carried out as part of an investigation into suspicions related to organized crime. The detainees are the mayors of Adana, Adiyaman and Antalya. About a month ago, Turkish law enforcement agencies ordered the arrest of several opposition party members in Istanbul, and police raided local authorities managed by opposition figures. This is another step in a chain of events that began with the April arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, who is considered President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main rival, and the cancellation of his ability to run for president.
