伊斯坦布尔反对派市长Ekrem Imamoglu(Ekrem Imamoglu)谴责审判带有偏见, Istanbul's opposition mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, charged in a politically driven case, denounced the trial as biased and vowed resistance.

伊斯坦布尔被囚禁的反对派市长埃克雷姆·伊玛目格鲁(Ekrem Imamoglu)是埃尔多安总统的顶尖挑战者,他于星期五出庭,对他提出出于政治动机的指控,并声称他“并不害怕 ” 。 他在Silivri监狱的演讲中反驳了此案 — — 与对法院指定的专家的评论有关 — — 作为压制异议和解散他的CHP党的更广泛运动的一部分。 Istanbul’s jailed opposition mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a top challenger to President Erdogan, appeared in court on Friday, calling charges against him politically motivated and asserting he is “not afraid.” Speaking from Silivri prison, he dismissed the case—related to comments about a court-appointed expert—as part of a broader campaign to silence dissent and dismantle his CHP party. Imamoglu批评了在涉及CHP市的24个单独案件中指定一名专家证人的做法,称这种模式“零”概率和系统性偏见的迹象。 Imamoglu criticized the appointment of a single expert witness in 24 separate cases involving CHP municipalities, calling the pattern “zero” odds and a sign of systemic bias. 他指控政府控制司法机构和进行任意拘留,而支持者则用“伊玛莫格鲁总统”的口号向他欢呼。 下一次听证会定于12月12日举行。 He accused the government of controlling the judiciary and conducting arbitrary detentions, while supporters cheered him with chants of “President Imamoglu.” The next hearing is set for December 12.
