Sit-in protest for justice continues for 610 days

“If the judiciary cannot protect the oppressed and does nothing to those who consider themselves superiors, no one can talk about justice,” said the Şenyaşar family on the 610th day of their sit-in protest for justice.

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 has entered its 610th day. Today, Emine Şenyaşar stays at her home in Suruç due to her health problems. Her son Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the courthouse in the morning to hold their protest demanding justice.

“If the judiciary cannot protect the oppressed and does nothing to those who consider themselves superiors, no one can talk about justice there. The place: Şanlıurfa Courthouse. The struggle against injustice is on its 610th day,” the Şenyaşar family wrote on their social media account today.
