Thousands attend a rally hosted by Istanbul's popular opposition mayor Ekrem Imamoglu with fellow opposition leaders after he was banned from politics ahead of next year'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.
