X restricts access to jailed Istanbul mayor’s account after Turkey’s request

Access to Ekrem Imamoglu's social media account has been restricted by the authorities in Turkey due to a legal demand, although it remains accessible via VPN.
The account restriction was requested by the Turkish government, citing national security and public order concerns.
Imamoglu criticized his arrest and urged citizens to raise their voices against the crackdown on opposition.
Many perceive Imamoglu's arrest as politically motivated, despite the Turkish government's assertion that its judiciary operates independently.
