Turkish Police Detain Three More Mayors From Party Opposed to Erdogan

ISTANBUL—Turkish police detained the opposition-affiliated mayors of three important cities on Saturday, widening a clampdown on political rivals of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan following the arrest of Istanbul's mayor earlier this year.
The government has said the detentions are part of an investigation into alleged corruption in opposition-controlled municipalities. Officials of the main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), have disputed the charges.
