Riha- Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar have held their protest demanding justice at their home due to full lockdown imposed in Turkey to reduce the coronavirus cases.

Emine Şenyaşar, whose husband and two sons were killed by the relatives and bodyguards of AKP Urfa MP Ibrahim Halil Yıldız in Suruç district of Urfa province just before the general elections held in Turkey on June 24, 2018, has held a protest with her son Ferit Şenyaşar since March 9.

The Şenyaşar family posted a tweet today and said, “If there is no justice, persecution is everywhere. We don’t want to live under persecution. We will build together the days when the judges don’t rule against justice. We'll live these days together.”
