“The wound of justice is still bleeding in Urfa”

“The wound of justice is still bleeding in Urfa. Justice cannot bring those who died back but can heal the wounded conscience. The persecution continues because there is no justice,” the Şenyaşar family said on the 571st day of their protest.

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 571st day. Today, Emine Şenyaşar has stayed at her home in Suruç due to her health problems. Her son Ferit Şenyaşar came in front of the courthouse in the morning to hold the sit-in protest by unfurling a banner reading, “Justice for the Şenyaşar family, justice for everyone”.

“The wound of justice is still bleeding in Urfa. Justice cannot bring those who died back but can heal the wounded conscience. The persecution continues because there is no justice. All oppressive regimes are doomed to fall apart,” the Şenyaşar family posted today on their social media account.
