The protests have led to over 1,400 arrests, including journalists. Ozel criticized the lack of response from international allies, particularly the UK Labour Party. He believes the future of Imamoglu's candidacy hinges on public response - promising that the opposition will fight tooth and nail to secure victory in Turkey's 2028 elections, irrespective of the hurdles ahead.

In summary, the political climate in Turkey is heating up as the opposition vows to mobilize and challenge the status quo, leading to an escalating struggle for democracy and freedom.

Ozgur Ozel assured that if Imamoglu's imprisonment continues, any CHP candidate would still achieve substantial electoral success.
