You call this justice?

Today, Emine Şenyaşar has been seeking justice at her home Pîrsus due to her health problems. Today, the Şenyaşar family posted a tweet by tagging the official social media account of Turkish Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç. The tweet said:

“Five years have passed. Although the immunity of the person who organized the massacre at the hospital and prevented the law enforcement from doing their duty has ended, he has not been arrested yet! Fadıl Şenyaşar, whose father and two brothers were murdered, has been kept in a solitary cell for five years by the orders of superiors! You call this justice?”
