Turkish authorities have arrested two additional mayors from the Republican People’s Party (CHP), expanding a series of investigations targeting municipalities led by the opposition. Ali Ercan Akpolat, mayor of Istanbul’s Adalar district, and Mustafa Turgut, mayor of Silifke in Mersin province, were both taken into custody on Tuesday. The arrests follow earlier detentions as part of probes into CHP-run municipalities, raising concerns about political pressure. Reports indicate Akpolat was among 35 individuals arrested in connection with the investigation. Details regarding the specific allegations against the mayors have not been fully disclosed. These actions continue a trend of increased scrutiny and legal challenges faced by opposition figures and administrations in Turkey.
