Ankara- Emine Şenyaşar, whose husband and two sons were murdered in the attack carried out by the relatives and bodyguards of former AKP Urfa MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız in the Suruç (Kurdish: Pirsûs) district of Urfa province on June 14, 2018, has been demanding justice for her relatives at the Turkish Parliament for 26 days.

Today, Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar, a DEM Party MP, held a press conference at the parliament. Then, they wanted to enter the building, where the office of DEM Party Parliamentary Group is located; however, they were blocked from entering the building by police. The police officers told the family that they received an instruction to block Emine Şenyaşar from entering the building.

‘Arbitrary instructions are given’

Emine Şenyaşar sat in front of the building to protest the blockage. “As an MP elected by the people, we are blocked from entering the building, going to the office of my party’s parliamentary group,” said Ferit Şenyaşar. “Arbitrary instructions are given here. This instruction is unlawful. The whole world should see what is happening here.”
