Authorities in Turkey have arrested dozens of people for provocative social media posts after the mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu was detained on Wednesday.
Imamoglu was one of more than one hundred people held on charges including corruption and aiding terrorist groups a move that has sparked protests in Istanbul and the capital Ankara.
Critics say his arrest is a coup and are planning further demonstrations, despite Istanbul’s pro-Erdogan governor banning protests for four days.
