A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What if the plot isn't about locking up the opposition leader, but about luring out his most vocal supporters? It is much easier to keep anonymous civilians in jail, as opposed to the leader of a movement. I feel like just locking up Imoglu is just too stupid a move to make.
Well, looks like they just found a hundred thousand or more. Time to lock them up?
Never underestimate people's stupidity ^^
I called CHP's candidate nomination votes a dumb move back in the day, since the sole candidate to vote for was announced to be Imamoglu. Since the next president election was dating all the way to 2028, I thought there was no point in voting towards a single candidate, what would that show?
That was until Imamoglu's arrest. With that move Erdogan has managed to unify all opposing parties to rally behind Imamoglu. CHP, the lead opposition party can show the support behind Imamoglu via sheer numbers to push for an early election.
push for an early election.
Its still up to Erdogan to decide
There exists plenty of ways to push for an early election. Easiest way I can see is resigning around 30 parliament members; which according to the law starts an early party election.
I didn't know that, thanks for this. Is it likely to happen though, or are the parliament members in AKP all true loyalists?
They do not need AKP at all to trigger an early election this way. Even parties like HDP and IYI have 30 parliament members, CHP is the leading opposition party so definetly can. Typically using this response without any reason will make the party lose votes, so it is reserved for emergencies.
However, this is an emergency situation. CHP can use this method at any time, however visualising the support before doing so could help a lot with the votes.
fantastic context, thanks
