Riha - The sit-in protest held in front of the Urfa Courthouse by Emine Şenyaşar, whose husband and two sons were murdered in the attack carried out by the relatives and bodyguards of AKP Urfa MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız in the Suruç district of Urfa province on June 14, 2018, and her son Ferit Şenyaşar has entered its 605th day.

The family will go to parliament

Today, Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the courthouse to hold their sit-in protest for justice by hanging a banner reading, “Justice for the Şenyaşar family”. Ferit Şenyaşar issued a press statement in front of the courthouse. “My mother’s husband and two sons were killed. Although we tried to protect ourselves in self-defense at our workplace, my brother (Fadıl Şenyaşar) is still kept in prison. The Court of Cassation overturned the court decision and the retrial will be held by the Malatya 3rd High Criminal Court. If my brother is not released, I will go to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey along with my mother. We will request a meeting with all political parties. There is a human tragedy, there is a massacre. We want justice,” the statement read.

“Our struggle for justice is going to enter its second year. The lawsuit about the attack on our workplace at the decision stage. We expect a decision that will ease the public conscience. Those who want to look for terrorists should check the indictment about the attack on the hospital,” the Şenyaşar family posted today on their social media account by tagging the official accounts of Turkey’s President Erdoğan and the Ministry of Justice.
