"Imamoglu's Arrest Sparks Turkey's Biggest Protests"

In Istanbul's streets, a mayor did stand,
Ekrem Imamoglu, with a plan in hand.
He won elections three times, a feat so grand,
But now he's in jail, with charges in demand.

He's accused of corruption, and terrorism too,
But Imamoglu says, "I'm here because I'm true."
He won against Erdogan, a phrase so bold,
"Istanbul wins Turkey," a story to be told.

Crowds gathered outside, with signs in the air,
Supporting their mayor, without a single care.
The Council of Europe spoke out, with a call so clear,
Drop the charges, and let him appear.

But Turkey's government said, "No, we're quite fine,"
The judiciary's independent, they said in their prime.
Imamoglu faced two hearings, with risks so high,
A jail term or ban, a fate to deny.

He spoke of TRT, the broadcaster so bold,
Funded by citizens, but spreading lies to be told.
His wife and child attended, with MPs by their side,
A family united, against the government's tide.
