X restricts access to jailed Istanbul mayor's account after Turkey's request May 07, 2025 at 11:04PM

In Turkey, access to jailed Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu's X account has been blocked following a legal request citing national security concerns. Imamoglu, a key rival to President Erdogan, was arrested on corruption charges and nominated as a presidential candidate while in custody. The move has sparked criticism from opposition politicians, who view it as an attack on free speech.
