Sit-in protest of Şenyaşar family enters its 479th day

Addressing the Turkish Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Health, the Şenyaşar family asked, “Why don't they see this mother who has been holding a sit-in protest in front of the Urfa Courthouse for 479 days?”

Riha - 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 the Suruç district of Urfa province on June 14, 2018, and her son Ferit Şenyaşar has entered its 479th day.

In the morning, Emine Şenyaşar and Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the courthouse from their home in Suruç to demand justice again. They unfurled a banner reading, “Our sit-in protest for justice continues on its 479th day. Either justice or death will remove me from here.

“They do not see the mother”

Today, the Şenyaşar family shared the statement released by the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Health on an attack against a health care worker in Urfa province on their social media account and wrote, “They do not release any statement about irregularities and unlawfulness in Urfa. Why don't they see this mother, who has been holding a sit-in protest in front of the Urfa Courthouse for 479 days? Isn’t this mother a citizen of this country?”
