Support visits to the family continue.

'WE ARE LOOKING FOR JUSTICE'
 
Speaking during the visit, Dilek Şeker, daughter of İsmet Şeker, who lost her life in the Suruç massacre, stated that Suruç families have been seeking justice for 8 years and said, “For 8 years, we have said 'Justice for Suruç, justice for everyone'. We say this again today. The Şenyaşar family lost their children just like us. They are from families whose children are imprisoned. We came from Istanbul by driving 15 hours today. Is there justice? No. But we are seeking justice. We are always on the side of families who want justice. We are not afraid,” he said.
 
'SOLIDARITY WITH THE FAMILY WILL CONTINUE'
 
Reminding what happened in the Suruç massacre, Green Left Party Riha MP Ferit Şenyaşar said: "The people who came to Suruç were our guests. Since we are not able to protect our guests, we do not stand in front of them, we ask for halal and we promise from here. We will continue our solidarity with the families until justice is provided and the real perpetrators are tried.”
 
'JUSTICE BRINGING US TOGETHER'
 
Yasemin Boyraz, who lost her mother Nazegül Bahar Boyraz in the Suruç massacre, said: "We have been subjected to one of the heaviest massacres in Turkey. I do not know Kurdish, aunt Emine does not speak Turkish either. It is justice that brings us together. We will continue to seek that justice in these courts. We will always be in solidarity. Actually, we want forgiveness from the family. We couldn't be in solidarity with the Şenyaşar family so much. We will always be with the family.”
 
After statging the sit-in with the family for a while, the delegation went to the courthouse to attend the 4th hearing of the ongoing case against the fugitive suspects Deniz Büyükçelebi and İlhami Balı regarding the murder of 33 people in the suicide bomb attack by ISIS in Pirsûs.
