261st day of sit-in protest: Awake from the sleep of heedlessness

The Şenyaşar family has been holding a sit-in protest in front of the Urfa Courthouse for 261 days to make their voice heard.

Riha- The sit-in protest of Emine Şenyaşar, whose husband and two sons were killed in the attack carried out by the relatives and bodyguards of AKP MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız on June 14, 2018, and her son Ferit Şenyaşar, who survived the attack, has continued on its 261st day. The Şenyaşar family went in front of the Urfa Courthouse early in the morning to hold their protest.

“As country, we have been going through very hard times. Injustice and lawlessness are the basic reason for hard times we face. Those who destroy justice and law are doomed to perish. Yesterday, we had a bad day. If this condition continues, we will face worse days in the country. Let’s stop this bad condition as society,” Ferit Şenyaşar said in the statement in front of the courthouse.

The family posted a tweet today and said, “Justice is the foundation of the state. Those who destroy justice are doomed to perish. Governments change while the state remains. Please awake from the sleep of heedlessness.”
