Ekrem Imamoglu was arrested on charges of corruption and aiding terrorist groups.

He was set to be named as a candidate for the 2028 presidential election.

His university degree was also invalidated this week over an alleged irregularity.

The moves have led to the largest nationwide protests in more than a decade .

Police have responded with beatings, tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons.

In Istanbul , a number of major roads and public transport options, including the subway, have been shut down.

The shutdown is widely seen as an attempt by the authorities to stop the movement of demonstrators to protest sites at government buildings.

Arrests of protesters could continue for weeks , months , and even years as police begin to identify people in attendance with the help of increased facial recognition surveillance technology.
