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 continues on its 469th day. Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the courthouse in the morning to hold their sit-in protest.

The family holds a banner reading, “A father and his two sons were killed in front of everyone on June 14, 2018. The mother demands justice for her killed children and the release of her son. Justice for everyone.”

“If there were justice, my son would be released”

Stating that everyone has been making preparations for the Feast of Sacrifice, Emine Şenyaşar said, “My son has been held in prison for four years. We have not celebrated a feast for four years. We have spent the feasts in front of the courthouse for two years. My son should be released from prison so that we can celebrate the feast together. I do not want to sit here during the feast. If there were justice, my son would be released from prison. I want my son. Those who killed my children should be arrested.”

“Our protest for truth continues”

“We have struggled for justice for four years. Nine prosecutors have changed, the Urfa chief prosecutor has changed today. This is the 4th chief prosecutor… Our sit-in protest for truth continues because justice hasn’t been delivered yet,” the Şenyaşar family posted today on their social media account.
