In a separate incident, a man who threatened to shoot Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage on social media has been arrested by London police [197090]. The suspect allegedly told Farage in a social media message sent in May, “I am going to shoot you in the head if you win” [197090]. The Metropolitan Police stated the man was taken into custody on Tuesday on suspicion of sending threatening communications to a member of parliament [197090]. The arrest comes amid rising concerns over the safety of British politicians, following the recent killing of former member of parliament Ann Widdecombe [197090].

Meanwhile, in Turkey, a prominent opposition figure has accused the ruling AKP of using the courts to weaken the main opposition. Özgür Çelik, speaking from Silivri prison, said the government is hiding behind the judiciary to redesign the Republican People's Party (CHP) [198698]. “Those who carried out the March 19 coup arrested mayors, but could not stop the CHP’s march,” Çelik stated, claiming the ruling party is using legal action as a shield [198698].
