Turkish authorities have blocked access to the X (formerly Twitter) account of Istanbul's jailed opposition mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, following a government request. Imamoglu, a prominent critic of President Erdogan, was detained on corruption charges he denies. The move is seen as part of a broader crackdown on political dissent and digital freedom in Turkey. Imamoglu's account, with nearly 10 million followers, was a major platform for opposition voices. This action has raised concerns about censorship and the suppression of political rivals in the country.
