Le Monde: Turkey: New wave of arrests targets main opposition party
Protests erupted in Istanbul as demonstrators marked the 100th day of detention for Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. This comes after Turkish authorities arrested four journalists over a controversial cartoon, leading to a large-scale crackdown in Izmir, where 109 municipal officials from the opposition CHP were detained.
The arrests included former Izmir mayor Tunç Soyer and current CHP provincial president Senol Aslanoglu, all facing corruption and misconduct charges. The situation echoes a previous mass arrest of CHP officials, raising concerns over political repression in Turkey.

Times Of Israel: Two French nationals detained in Iran charged with spying for Mossad, families say
Two French nationals, Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, have been charged in Iran with spying for Israel’s Mossad, conspiracy to overthrow the regime, and corruption. These charges, which carry the death penalty, have been deemed unfounded by French officials, who assert the pair's innocence.
Kohler and Paris have been detained since May 2022, and their access to independent lawyers has been denied. Iran's judiciary claims the recent Israeli airstrike on Evin prison resulted in numerous casualties, and the fate of the detainees remains uncertain amid ongoing tensions.
