Sit-in protest of Şenyaşar family enters its 638th day

“If there is no justice in a country, everyone is guilty, not only the ones who rule it,” the Şenyaşar family posted today.

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 638th day.

Today, Emine Şenyaşar has stayed at her home in Suruç due to her health problems. Her son Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the courthouse to hold their sit-in protest for justice by unfurling a banner reading, “Justice for the Şenyaşar family”.

‘Everyone is guilty’

“The development and reputation of a country is measured according to its law and justice system. If there is no justice in a country, everyone is guilty, not only the ones who rule it. We have been waiting in front of the courthouse for 638 days for the rule of law to do what is necessary,” the Şenyaşar family posted today on their social media account.
