“All I demand is justice”

The speech of Emine Şenyaşar is as follows:

“What did we do? They are brutal people. Erdoğan made Halil İbrahim Yıldız a member of the parliament. Doesn’t he know that he is a usurer, thief, and killer? They destroyed my family. I have no power to resist anymore. I cannot stay at home. I go in front of the courthouse in the morning and return home in the evening. All I demand is justice. They should release my son held in prison. We are left alone in our struggle. We ask everyone to support our struggle for justice.
