MY PRESIDENTIAL PLEDGE 🇦🇹🇹🇷
Ekrem İmamoğlu remains imprisoned in Türkiye amid multiple criminal proceedings that he denies; opposition parties and international critics describe the cases as politically motivated, while the Turkish government says the judiciary is independent.
As Austrian Federal President, I will use every lawful diplomatic and political instrument available to press for Ekrem İmamoğlu’s freedom, a fair trial and full democratic rights.
I regard Ekrem as a political hostage of President Erdoğan — and I will work to wrest him from Erdoğan’s grip.
FREE EKREM İMAMOĞLU.
