Şenyaşar family continues action for justice in front of Parliament

Emine Şenyaşar and her son, DEM Party MP Ferit Şenyaşar, continue their action for justice in front of the Parliament in Ankara.

On 14 June 2018, the bodyguards and relatives of AKP Urfa MP Ibrahim Halil Yıldız attacked the Şenyaşar family's shop in Suruç during the election campaign.

In the attack, brothers Celal, Adil, Mehmet, Fadıl and Ferit Şenyaşar were severely injured and hospitalized. Relatives and supporters of AKP MP Yıldız killed Celal and Adil Şenyaşar in hospital, and their father Hacı Esvet Şenyaşar, when he went to the hospital to see his sons. He was brutally murdered, being lynched in front of his wife, Emine Şenyaşar.

Emine Şenyaşar took her protest in front of the Parliament 12 days ago.

On Monday, she held a press conference together with her son, DEM Party Urfa MP, Ferit Şenyaşar.

Ferit Şenyaşar said that his mother had not received the justice she had been expecting from the judiciary for years and that she came to the Parliament to make her voice heard. Addressing the Speaker of the Parliament Numan Kurtulmuş and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Şenyaşar once again reiterated the demand of his mother. He said that his mother's demand for justice was ignored and emphasized that the Parliament should take action on this issue.

Şenyaşar said: "My mother waited in front of the Urfa Courthouse for 846 days, in front of the Ministry of Justice for 124 days, and now she has been seeking justice in front of the Parliament in Ankara for 12 days. We are calling on the Parliament to do its job so that this oppression ends."

Emine Şenyaşar said she will continue her action with determination despite her health problems, until justice is done.
