Turkey braced for a third day of protests on Friday, as anger spread across the country over the arrest of Istanbul's popular Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu in a graft and terror probe.

Imamoglu, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main political rival, was arrested at dawn on Wednesday, just days before he was due to be named the candidate for the main opposition CHP party in the 2028 presidential election.

Opposition leader Ozgur Ozel urged people across Turkey to hit the streets at 1730 GMT, despite warnings from the justice minister that such calls were "unlawful and unacceptable". On Friday afternoon, Istanbul's governor ordered the closure of Galata Bridge and Ataturk Bridge which cross the Golden Horn estuary and are the main access routes to the historic peninsula where City Hall is located. Thousands have defied a protest ban in Istanbul, gathering nightly outside City Hall in support of the mayor, with the authorities on Friday extending the ban to the capital Ankara and the western coastal city of Izmir.

Officials said Imamoglu and six others were under investigation for "aiding a terrorist organisation" -- namely the banned Kurdish PKK militant group -- and was also under scrutiny in a graft probe involving about 100 other suspects.

The party said it would open the process to anyone who wanted to vote, not just party members, saying: "Come to the ballot box and say 'no' to the coup attempt!" Observers said the government could seek to block the primary to prevent a further show of support for Imamgolu.

Musavat Dervisoglu, a representative of the right-leaning IYI Party, voiced a similar sentiment in parliament, claiming the government had effectively suspended the constitution.

I wonder what the post Trump era will be like. What kind of mental gymnastics will the left go through to paint the next republican candidate/president as a fascist. And will that open a few more eyes to the tactics of the left.

W was Hitler who let black men be dragged to death by car.

Romney was a cold rich white guy who cut his employees off from life saving cancer treatment, brutalized gay kids in high school, and put dogs on the roof of his car.

I’m sure Vance, Rubio, or DeSantis will be more of the same.

He’s hurting himself, his people, and Europe.

Their energy crisis will deepen, further negatively affecting their economy.

He’s hitting himself. We’ll watch.

These two Tren De Aragua criminals escaped from an ICE detention center in Colorado.

Hopefully they stay on the loose with the help and support system of Democrats. It’s a lot like the Underground Railroad, according to DU.

It’s a small win but this is how you start out winning again.

Because I'm not criticizing a head of state for defending his country from an an unlawful invasion, that means I have to go and fight? These are exactly the mental contortions I'm talking about. They don't even make any sense, yet they're pervasive on this board. You can't even see how insincere you sound. You're just virtue signalling to show your support for a charismatic leader. It's lemmings like you who end up over the cliff without a second thought. We get it, you're tough, you're a man, you're American, you're straight, you're Christian you're a conservative, and most importantly, you support Trump. Why is it so important for you to constantly be flashing your bone fides?

Only a neocon or a Marxist types drivel like this.

He will be like a Jim Cornyn in the US Senate.

Not great but a lot better than Jon Ossoff.
