STORYLINE:
Protests continued in Istanbul on Sunday after a court formally arrested the city’s mayor – a key rival to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – and jailed him, pending the outcome of a trial on corruption charges.
Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu was detained following a raid on his residence earlier this week, sparking the largest wave of street demonstrations in Turkey in more than a decade.
It also deepened concerns over democracy and the rule of law in Turkey.
