Turkish president criticizes rival arrest as theater, but street protests opposition

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejected the criticism of the opposition in an initial response to the arrest of the mayor of Istanbul. He said he didn’t have time for the “theater” of the opposition, which states that Imamoglu was arrested because he was too great a threat to Erdogan. Supporters of the opposition took to the streets for a second day in a row on Thursday to protest.
