Imamoğlu's lawyer Kemal Polat emphasized his commitment to the fight for justice in a recent social media statement.

Polat stated, "We have filed numerous criminal complaints against publications that slander my client Ekrem İmamoğlu. I believe lawyers are being targeted to interfere with the judiciary," he said.

Polat highlighted that lawyers are under pressure due to their professional duties and stated, "Lawyers are being detained on fabricated grounds," he added.

Imamoğlu's lawyers announced they would initiate legal proceedings against media outlets spreading false news about them. They emphasized they would not give up on demanding justice.

This situation has brought back discussions about the pressure faced by lawyers in Turkey and the right to a fair trial.
