“They will lose”

Yesterday, Emine Şenyaşar, whose husband and two sons were murdered in front of her, testified to the prosecution on charges of “insulting” AKP MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız. Today, the Şenyaşar family posted a message about the hearing held yesterday on their social media account by tagging the social media accounts of Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ and the Ministry of Justice. “Under the sign reading, ‘Justice is the basis of property,’ the mother (Emine Şenyaşar), whose husband and two sons were murdered at the hospital and who has been demanding justice in front of the courthouse for 555 days, is tried. Those who do not promise justice among their promises should not think of being the ruling party. They will lose,” the message said.
