Emine Şenyaşar and her Ferit Şenyaşar, who have held a sit-in protest in front of the Urfa Courthouse demanding justice for their killed relatives, said, “We prefer freezing in front of the Şanlıurfa Courthouse than sitting at home and living under persecution. This should be the shame of those who talk about law and justice in Turkey.”

Riha- The sit-in protest held in front of the Urfa Courthouse by Emine Şenyaşar, whose husband and two sons were killed in the attack carried out on June 14, 2018, in Suruç by the relatives and bodyguards of AKP Urfa MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız, and her son Ferit Şenyaşar, who survived the attack, has entered its 350^th day.  For 350 days, Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar have traveled from Suruç to Urfa city center to demand justice for their killed relatives.

“We have been persecuted”

Stating that the AKP government has no conscience, Emine Şenyaşar said, “I have left to rot here while my other son has been left to rot in jail.  We have been persecuted. This persecution should be ended now. They killed three persons and put one in jail. They killed people at the hospital. Why does Erdoğan stand by them? It's enough, they should release my son. I can barely see. I want my son back. I demand justice for everyone. Those who killed my relatives are free while my son is behind bars.”

“We prefer freezing in front of the Şanlıurfa Courthouse than sitting at home and living under persecution. This should be the shame of those who talk about law and justice in Turkey,” the Şenyaşar family posted on their social media account today.
