Three opposition mayors in southern Turkey arrested amid investigations into corruption.

Three mayors from major southern cities in Turkey, all members of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), were arrested in recent raids. Abdurrahman Tutdere from Adiyaman, Zeydan Karalar from Adana, and Muhittin Bocek from Antalya were detained as part of investigations into organized crime, bribery, and bid-rigging. These arrests follow the imprisonment of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu in March, raising accusations of a government crackdown on opposition figures.
