Sit-in protest for justice enters its 793rd day
On the 793rd day of their sit-in protest in front of the Urfa Courthouse, the Şenyaşar family said, “The judiciary is at least as guilty as the perpetrators when it remains silent against injustice practices.”
Riha (Urfa) - 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 Pirsûs (Turkish: Suruç) district of Urfa province on June 14, 2018, and her son Ferit Şenyaşar has entered its 793rd day.
Today, Emine Şenyaşar stays at her home in Suruç due to her health problems. Her son Ferit Şenyaşar, also a MP of the Green Left Party from Urfa, went in front of the courthouse to demand justice.
“Justice too long delayed is justice denied. The judiciary is at least as guilty as the perpetrators when it remains silent against injustice practices. In order to ensure a more peaceful environment, the justice mechanisms must be operated quickly and fairly. Our struggle will continue until justice prevails,” said today’s social media post of the Şenyaşar family.
