The detention of Istanbul’s mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu, a man seen as President Erdoğan’s strongest political rival. İmamoğlu was taken into custody on March 19, a move his party—the Republican People’s Party, or CHP—calls politically motivated. His supporters see it as an attack on democracy itself. President Tayyip Erdoğan has issued a stern warning against the unrest, but that hasn’t deterred citizens in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, and beyond.

20 March,2025 12:39 PM ISTPresident Donald Trump is set to release around 80,000 pages of documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The release, which was planned for March 18, is part of Trump's promise to provide more transparency about the tragic event in Texas.
