Dilek Kaya Imamoglu has stepped into the spotlight while her husband is in jail by attending rallies and meeting the families of his party’s other jailed officials. “It’s an extremely difficult time for our children and for me… but we hold onto one another,” Dilek Kaya Imamoglu, 51, told AFP in her first interview with foreign media. But Dilek Kaya Imamoglu said they have taken strength from her husband’s message “to never lose hope”. Dilek Kaya Imamoglu said the family is allowed weekly visits to see him in Silivri prison, west of Istanbul, where several other leading opponents of Erdogan are also being held. “Frankly, this silence has disappointed us,” Dilek Kaya Imamoglu said.
