“Our struggle for justice continues with determination on its 806th day. If new Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç is going to bring justice to the country, he should start from Urfa. Talking about justice without eliminating injustices is insincerity, hypocrisy,” the Şenyaşar family wrote on their social media account by tagging the official account of Turkey’s new Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç.
