- Story Text: Protesters in Istanbul rallied into the night on Monday (March 24) in support of jailed Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.
The night-time footage showed a crowd of protesters gathered in front of the police on the road to Taksim Square.
Another crowd of protesters marched towards the municipality building, with some staying on Galata Bridge to block traffic.
Turkey has been rocked by the largest street protests in more than a decade following the arrest and then, on Sunday (March 23), the jailing of Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, widely seen as President Tayyip Erdogan's most formidable political rival, pending trial on corruption charges that he strongly denies.
