- Turkey has launched an investigation into calls for an economic boycott over Imamoglu's arrest.


The Turkish prosecutor's office has launched an investigation after calls for an economic boycott over the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on Tuesday, April 1, citing a statement from the agency.
"The Turkish prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into individuals promoting an economic boycott on social networks and traditional media following the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu," the publication says.
As stated in the statement of the Istanbul Prosecutor General's Office, the appeals are allegedly aimed at "a certain part of the population" who are prevented from engaging in economic activities by protesters in support of the arrested mayor.
Law enforcement agencies issued an arrest warrant for Imamoglu on March 19. An anti-corruption operation has been launched against the Istanbul administration. The mayor of the city was arrested on March 23. After that, the country's Interior Ministry reported that Imamoglu had been temporarily suspended from his duties.
Later, mass protests began in Turkey in connection with the detention of the mayor.
