Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu made significant statements regarding the imprisonment of Selahattin Demirtaş. Demirtaş's situation deeply affects the quest for justice in Turkey.

Imamoğlu stated that the continuation of Demirtaş's imprisonment is a major obstacle to resolving the Kurdish issue. He also criticized the government's appeal against the European Court of Human Rights decision.

Imamoğlu said, "This step disregards the justice expectations of millions of citizens. The freedom of Selahattin Demirtaş is a measure of the government's sincerity."

Imamoğlu emphasized that Turkey should not be a country where politicians are imprisoned. He expressed the need for the will of the people to achieve peaceful days for the country.
