Turkish police detained 10 senior officials from Istanbul’s opposition-held municipalities, including deputy mayors and council members, over alleged links to Kurdish militants. The officials, all from the Republican People's Party (CHP), are accused of appointing individuals connected to the banned PKK. Critics see this as a government attempt to discredit Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a potential rival to President Erdogan. CHP leaders condemned the arrests as politically motivated.
