Portrait of the day: Elmas Eren

Hayrettin Eren was taken into custody on November 21, 1980. Since then, his family has had no news from him. His mother Elmas Eren looked for him for years. She joined other families to demand justice and truth for their children and loved ones who disappeared under custody. “I accept to have even a single bone of my son,” said Elmas Eren. But she didn’t have. Mother Elmas spent her 39 years looking for her son and she died without learning anything about her son.
