Reporter Hude Gürbüz and camera operator Furkan Durmaz from the Tele 1 YouTube team asked the prison sentence given to İstanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu to people in İstanbul’s Esenler district. 

After Gürbüz asked about the “slut” and “rotten” remarks of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a group of people kicked and smashed him. Tele 1 announced that it would file a criminal complaint against the assaulters (December 20).
