  The Istanbul chief prosecutor's office launched an investigation on Friday into a top official at Turkey's main business group TUSIAD who had criticised a recent judicial crackdown on opposition leaders and journalists.

The Turkish government has launched an investigation into a prominent business group official following his criticism of the government's actions against opposition figures. This scrutiny comes after the official publicly condemned the recent crackdown on opposition members, which included arrests and detentions. The investigation is part of a broader pattern where the government has been accused of stifling dissent and targeting critics, particularly as the country approaches significant political events. This move has raised concerns about freedom of speech and the business community's ability to voice political opinions without fear of reprisal. The situation underscores the ongoing tension between the ruling party and opposition groups in Turkey, highlighting issues of political freedom and economic stability.
