Riha- Emine Şenyaşar, whose husband and two sons were killed in an attack carried out by the relatives and bodyguards of AKP Urfa MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız, and her son Ferit Şenyaşar, survived the attack, have held a sit-in protest in front of Urfa Courthouse demanding justice for 93 days. Emine Şenyaşar’s son Fadıl Şenyaşar called his mother from Elazığ Prison. “They killed three members of my family and put one in prison. Have you ever heard of people being killed at a hospital? They killed my husband in front of me. They crushed his head. Do you call this justice?” Emine Şenyaşar asked.

“Do you have the right to kill people if you are a member of parliament?”

Emine Şenyaşar talked about what they had faced and she said, “Hospitals are for healing people not killing people. I have been here for three months. I demand the release of my son. We were just shopkeepers. We don’t harm anyone. I hardly see now. Do you have the right to kill people if you are a member of parliament? Why aren’t they tried?”

Visits to support the family continue

Today, Diyarbakır Branch administration of the Trade Union of Employees in Public Health and Social Services (SES), Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) MPs Remziye Tosun and Ayşe Sürücü and members of Peace Mothers visited the Şenyaşar family to support them.
