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 has entered its 534th day. In the morning, Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the courthouse from their home in Suruç. The mother and her son began to hold their protest in the shade at the entrance of the courthouse, where the police have been preventing them from holding their sit-in protest since August 8.

“We are not in the same boat”

On their social media account, the Şenyaşar family responded to President Tayyip Erdoğan’s statement saying, “We are in the same boat”. “The political party, whose name includes justice, will face its biggest test in Urfa, before the mother who never silences despite all the pressures. We are not in the same boat,” the family wrote.
