Turkey detains three more mayors as part of crackdown on opposition

Turkey on Saturday arrested three more opposition mayors as part of an investigation into alleged corruption in what the main opposition CHP party called a “political operation”. The arrests come after more than 120 city hall officials in the city of Izmir were arrested earlier this week and Istanbul’s powerful opposition mayor Ekrem Imamoglu was removed from his post in March.
