The mayor of Istanbul and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main rival has been formally arrested and jailed pending trial over corruption charges.
Ekrem Imamoglu was originally detained on Sunday – sparking widespread protests across Turkey which have since intensified.
Mr Imamoglu, a popular opposition figure with the Republican People’s Party, was also detained over allegations of links to terror organisations.
For a fourth night, demonstrators clashed with police as he faced further questioning. He denies any wrongdoing.
His detention has been widely regarded as a political move to remove him from the 2028 presidential race.
