Making a speech in front of the courthouse, Ferit Şenyaşar said, “Today is the International Workers’ Day. We also demand justice for laborers. We will be the voice of 301 miners, who were killed in Soma. We will keep struggling. Our struggle is growing day by day and the government that causes this injustice and unlawfulness will go. We will bring justice and peace to Türkiye together.”
