They killed my other children in the hospital. I want my son to be released. Why are hospital records not revealed? We have been here for nearly 3 months. What kind of state is this, what kind of justice? I will continue to fight for my son. We are demanding our rights, yet we are being detained. Those who murdered my children walk in streets freely. I want justice,” she said.

Expressing that solidarity keeps them strong, Ferit Şenyaşar said, “My brother has been kept in solidarity confinement for 3 years. He is trying to survive through our struggle. And he is seeking justice. We are here for our brother. We will continue to be here until my brother is released. We will continue our struggle for justice until a fair trial is made possible. We will continue to be here for justice."
