Tens of thousands of people have been protesting in Turkey after Istanbul’s mayor and President Erdoğan’s main political rival, Ekrem İmamoğlu, was formally arrested on Sunday.

His initial arrest and detention on corruption charges on Wednesday sparked the largest wave of street demonstrations in the country in more than a decade.

If you live in Turkey, we would like to hear your experience of the protests. How do you feel about them? Did you take part? If so, what were your reasons for doing so?
