Sit-in protest of Şenyaşar family enters its 777th day

“We will keep holding our protest until justice is ensured for all the victims,” the Şenyaşar family said on the 777th day of their sit-in protest for justice.

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 777th day.

 Today, Emine Şenyaşar went to Elazığ to see her son Fadıl Şenyaşar, who has been kept in a solitary cell for six years. Her son Ferit Şenyaşar, a parliamentary candidate of the Green Left Party from Urfa, will attend the rally to be organized by the Party of Greens and the Left Future (Green Left Party) in Urfa’s Haliliye district at 14.00.

“Today is the 777th day of our search for 'justice', which was destroyed in the Urfa Courthouse. Mother Emine is on her way to Elazığ prison today in order to embrace her son, who has been held 'hostage'... We will keep holding our protest until justice is ensured for all the victims,” the Şenyaşar family posted today on their social media account by tagging the official account of Turkey's Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ.
