Protests that erupted across Turkey following the arrest of Istanbul's opposition mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu have taken on a new dimension with calls for a one-day shopping boycott. The student groups behind the demand also urged businesses to shutter.
The boycott campaign stems from large-scale anti-government protests began last month after the jailing of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu who is regarded as the main political challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s 22-year rule.
