Istanbul mayor gives speech after barred from politics over 'insult'

Description

Supporters chant Ekrem Imamoglu's name as Istanbul's popular opposition mayor delivers a speech after a Turkish court sentenced him to nearly three years in jail in a politically charged defamation trial that effectively bars him from standing in next June's presidential election. Ekrem Imamoglu's team immediately vowed to appeal his conviction in a case stemming from a remark he made after defeating President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ally in a hugely controversial 2019 mayoral vote.
