Sit-in protest of Şenyaşar family enters its 498th day

Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar have held a sit-in protest in front of the Urfa Courthouse to demand justice for their killed relatives for 498 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 continues on its 498th day.

Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the Urfa Courthouse in the morning to demand justice again. “In Şanlıurfa, insult is considered a bigger crime than massacre. A massacre was committed at the hospital but a confidentiality order issued on the murder case has been continuing for four years. The number of lawsuits filed against the mother (Emine Şenyaşar), who has been demanding justice in front of the courthouse, is five now. The people of Urfa are witnesses of this persecution,” the Şenyaşar family wrote on their social media account today.
