Bursa court halts municipality's 'favorable' rental to Ensar Foundation upon CHP complaint

A court in the northwestern Turkish province of Bursa has suspended a contract for the rental of a historical building to the Ensar Foundation, upon a complaint by the local branch of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP).

Municipality accused of favoritism in Ensar rental

The Osmangazi district municipality in Turkey's northwestern province of Bursa has allegedly rented a 1500-square-meter, newly-renovated historical building to the Ensar Foundation, which recently hit headlines after reports surfaced that a teacher had sexually assaulted eight male students in one of its rented apartments, for an amount much lower than the building's market value.
