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 528th day. In the morning, the mother and her son came in front of the courthouse from their home in the Suruç district of Urfa province to demand justice again. The family members have been prevented by police from holding their sit-in protest in the shade at the entrance of the courthouse since August 8. Today, the members of the Yaşam Evi Women’s Solidarity Association visited the Şenyaşar family to support their struggle for justice.

“We share Emine Şenyaşar’s pain”

Emine Şenyaşar gave information to the association members about their struggle for justice. Serpil Geyik, a member of the association, made a speech about the family’s demand for justice. “We wanted to support Emine Şenyaşar’s struggle for justice. We are here to be the voice of a mother demanding justice. Nothing changes although days, months and years have passed. But we believe that justice will be delivered one day. As women, we share Emine Şenyaşar’s pain. Emine Şenyaşar keeps sitting in front of the courthouse although the city is a feudal city. As women, we always stand by this mother symbolizing justice. Today, we will hold the sit-in protest with them,” Serpil Geyik said in her speech.

“We will bring justice together”

“The mother has received the greatest support from women in her struggle for justice. As a woman, the mother demands justice for everyone. Today, we hold our sit-in protest with the members of the Yaşam Evi Women’s Solidarity Association. We will bring justice together,” the Şenyaşar family wrote on their social media account today.
