“Turkish police have detained 11 people as part of an investigation into social media calls for an economic boycott backed by the opposition following the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, state media reported on Thursday. Prosecutors launched the probe on Tuesday, saying they were investigating individuals promoting economic boycotts on social and traditional media. The Istanbul chief prosecutor’s office said the calls sought to prevent a segment of the public from engaging in economic activity, citing potential violations of ‘laws against hate speech and inciting public hostility.'” (04/03/25)
