The release of two persons

The confidentiality order issued on the file of the massacre committed at the hospital in 2018 has not been lifted yet. On April 22, 2022, four years after the massacre, four people, including AKP MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız’s brother Celal Yıldız, were arrested for “obfuscating the evidences”. Today, the Şenyaşar family learned of the release of Müslüm Yıldız and İbrahim Halil Şimşek. AKP MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız’s nephew Osman Şah Yıldız announced the release of two men on his social media account by writing, “Müslüm Yıldız and İbrahim Halil Şimşek, who were arrested for obfuscating the evidences, have been released.”

“The response to our request to meet the chief prosecutor is the police barrier”

“Is Urfa Courthouse affiliated to the Ministry of Justice? More precisely, does Urfa is one city of the Republic of Turkey? We have held a sit-in protest in front of the Urfa Courthouse for 581 days. We requested to meet the chief prosecutor; however, the response to our request to meet the chief prosecutor is the police barrier. Those who are a party to this unlawfulness will stand trial soon,” the Şenyaşar family posted on their social media account today.
