TURKISH police detained a Kurdish woman as she marked seven days of a sit-in vigil outside the Sanliurfa courthouse in Turkey today.
Emine Senyasar is demanding justice for family members who were brutally killed by government supporters in June 2018, days before the country went to the polls in presidential and parliamentary elections.
Her husband, Haci Esvet Senyasar, and two of her sons, Adil and Celal Senyasar, were killed by the bodyguards and relatives of Justice & Development Party (AKP) parliamentarian Ibrahim Halil Yildiz.
His armed thugs opened fire after an argument with shopkeeper Celal, known for his closeness to the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), over a red, green and yellow banner, colours associated with Kurdish culture.
