The Şenyaşar family not allowed inside Ministry of Justice

The Şenyaşar family, who walked from the Parliament to the Ministry of Justice, was not allowed in.

On the 22nd day of their Justice Vigil, the Şenyaşar family walked from Parliament to the Ministry of Justice in Ankara, but was not allowed in.

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 and her son Ferit have been holding a Justice Vigil in front of the Courthouse of Urfa since 9 March 2021, demanding those responsible to be brought to account.

On the 846th day of the vigil in front of the Courthouse in Urfa, the Şenyaşar family ended their protest for the time being, announcing that they would move to Ankara if there was not "a hint of justice" in the hearing to be held in Malatya on Tuesday, July 18.

"On 18 July, my mother will either go home and spend her time in her own home differently from the past five years. Or she will take her resistance to the heart of this state," said Ferit Şenyaşar, who was elected a deputy from the Greens and Left Future Party (Green Left Party) in the May 14 election.

The family then announced they would move the vigil to Ankara, something they did 23 days ago.

Emine Şenyaşar, who came to the Parliament in a wheelchair due to the health problems she is experiencing, walked from the Dikmen gate of the Parliament to the Ministry of Justice with her son Ferit Şenyaşar and members of the Lawyers' Association for Freedom (ÖHD) Ankara Branch members. They asked to be allowed in, but were denied entrance.
