‘There is no justice in this country’

Demanding the implementation of laws, Reşahat Ada said, “Some prisoners are not released despite having served 30 years in prison. There are hundreds of sick prisoners; they want to receive treatment. There is no justice and life in this country. We want peace and justice. End this persecution now. Political parties must support us.”
