Mr Besigye fell in the dock on Wednesday while conducting his trial without lawyers of his own choosing, after authorities detained his main attorney, Erias Lukwago, and charged him with alleged failure to report acts of treason. TURKEY: Police detained a former TV actor-turned-mayor today in the latest wave of arrests targeting the opposition. Erdal Besikcioglu, the mayor of Etimesgut municipality in western Ankara, is being investigated for allegations of irregularities and forgery in municipal tenders, the Justice Ministry said in a statement. The app faces a fine of up to 54.6 million Australian dollars (£29 million) if convicted for “alleged failure to detect and remove pro-terror material,” said e-safety commissioner Julie Inman Grant. The ruling, dated Sunday but published Wednesday, was made by the Court of Cassation’s highest-level panel for resolving conflicting legal interpretations.
