Turkey's Popular Mayor Faces Political Ban in Latest Trial
Turkey's most popular opposition politician, Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, is set to appear in court on Wednesday in a case that could end his career.
The case launched by the Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office in January accuses Imamoglu of threatening the city's top prosecutor and seeks a seven-year prison term as well as a ban on running for political office. Imamoglu has denounced the accusations, saying the judiciary is politicized.
