CHP Diyarbakır Deputy Sezgin Tanrıkulu visited CHP presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu , who is being held in Marmara Prison in Silivri. Making a statement after the visit, Tanrıkulu said, "You have unlawfully detained and arrested him, and are holding him in prison; at least write an indictment. What are you waiting for to write an indictment?" Tanrıkulu said the following: "I visited our Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor and presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu and our friends. I want to express this: Turkey absolutely does not deserve these legal practices, judicial harassment, and judicial pressure. We must immediately get rid of this environment where the judiciary has taken over the political agenda in Turkey.

Ultimately, the judiciary sets Türkiye's political agenda, and it attempts to do so in an unlawful and procedural manner. It conducts unlawful operations whenever it chooses, and because of this, Turkey cannot discuss its true agenda. You've unlawfully detained, arrested, and imprisoned; at least write an indictment.

"What are you waiting for to write an indictment? Why can't people be brought to trial?"
