URFA - Police officers affiliated with the AKP's Urfa Metropolitan Municipality confiscated the Şenyaşar family's banner with the inscription "Justice for the Şenyaşar family". The police in front of the courthouse stated that the prosecutor was disturbed with the banner and said that we will hang it again tomorrow."

 

The Justice Watch carried out by the Şenyaşar family has reached 595 days. 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 was on sit-in at her home in Suruç district due to her health problems, Ferit Şenyaşar came to the Urfa Courthouse early in the morning and started the sit-in by hanging a "Justice for the Şenyaşar family" banner on the concrete barriers.

 

The area called "Şenyaşar family justice corner", where the family was on sit-in, was besieged by the police with iron barriers last week. Police officers in the AKP municipality confiscated the banner with the inscription "Justice for the Şenyaşar family" hanging on the barriers today, without any warning.

 

THE PROSECUTOR IS DISTURBED BY BANNER

 

The police took the banner and left the area. The police in front of the courthouse stated that the Urfa Chief Public Prosecutor was disturbed by the banner and the prosecutor replied that the family should not hung a banner, they will hung it again tomorrow, so Şenyaşar family said: "We are exposed to various obstacles by law enforcement in front of the Urfa Courthouse every day. Law enforcement is interfering with us on the orders of prosecutors. Today, we have come to a different dimension in obstacles. Our banner was confiscated, it is not the security branch or public order that confiscated our banner, but the municipal police working in the Urfa Metropolitan Municipality seized our banner without a warning. It is theft, our banner has been stolen. We do not accept this. Those who are disturbed by this banner should not come and sit in these buildings. They should serve justice and we will go home."
