URFA - The police wanted to remove Şenyaşar from the courthouse, and said: "This is not your home."

 

The Justice Watch carried out by the Şenyaşar family has reached day 577. The sit-in was launched on  March 9, 2021 by Emine Şenyaşar, who lost her husband and two sons as a result of the attack carried out by AKP MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız's bodyguards and relatives in the Suruç province of Urfa, on June 14, 2018. While Emine Şenyaşar had to remain home due to health issues, Ferit Şenyaşar arrived at the courthouse early in the morning.

 

Ferit Şenyaşar started the sit-in in the area called "Şenyaşar family justice corner" and hung a banner written, "Justice for the Şenyaşar family, justice for all" on the concrete blocks. The police tried to remove the banner and the family from the grounds. Ferit Şenyaşar took the banner from the police.

 

'WE WILL NOT LEAVE HERE'

 

Speaking about the police intervention, Ferit Şenyaşar said: "They murdered my family and they are holding my brother in a cell alone for the last four years. All we have is a banner. We will not let them take it and we will not leave here no matter what they threaten us with." The police then threatened Şenyaşar with detention and tried to remove the family from the courthouse and said "This is not your home". Ferit Şenyaşar continues his demonstration in front of the courthouse.
