What will you do? Where will you stop? Are you going to throw 16 million Istanbulites in jail one by one?" he said in the letter.Imamoglu is part of the Republican People's Party (CHP), who have been leading in many polls against Erdogan's Justice and Development Party. He was jailed over charges of corruption and aiding a terrorist group. He has denied all charges.His arrest triggered mass protests and arrests across Turkey. The Istanbul prosecutor's office has said 819 people arrested in protests will be tried in 20 criminal investigations.Some 110 people were arrested in the first four waves of arrests under corruption allegations.The fifth wave on Saturday consisted of four different operations in two cities.
