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 549th day.

In the morning, Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the Urfa Courthouse from their home in the Suruç district of Urfa province to hold their sit-in protest. “Our search for justice continues on its 549th day,” read the placard unfurled by the family. The family members have been sitting in front of the “Justice Exhibition” and giving information about their struggle to the people entering the courthouse.

The request of the family to meet with the 10th prosecutor appointed to the investigation launched into the massacre at the Suruç State Hospital has been rejected.

“Where are those who talk about justice?”

Today, the Şenyaşar family wrote on their social media account today by tagging the official accounts of the AKP and Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu. The family asked, “Where are those who talk about justice in the country? Why has this mother been sitting in front of the courthouse for 549 days? Could someone from the government say they stand by their member of parliament? When will you take your hand off the judiciary?”
