On 14 June 2018, the bodyguards and relatives of AKP Urfa MP Ibrahim Halil Yıldız attacked the Şenyaşar family's shop in Suruç during the election campaign.

In the attack, brothers Celal, Adil, Mehmet, Fadıl and Ferit Şenyaşar were injured. Relatives and supporters of AKP MP Yıldız, badly injured Celal and Adil Şenyaşar, and their father Hacı Esvet Şenyaşar, when he went to the hospital to visit their sons. He was brutally murdered, being lynched in front of his wife Emine Şenyaşar.

Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit (who was injured in the attack), have been holding a Justice Vigil in front of the Courthouse of Urfa since 9 March 2021, demanding those responsible to be brought to account.

The Şenyaşar family suspended the action for 15 days due to the two earthquakes that hit the region on 6 February.

The family resumed their vigil in front of the courthouse on Monday, day 701, and made a connection between the disaster that followed the earthquake and injustice.

Ferit Şenyaşar said: “According to our belief, the reason for the increase in earthquakes is injustice. All of Turkey sees this injustice. The next day, all the deputies will go in the squares. As long as this injustice continues, who will come to Urfa and demand votes from the people? The government that runs the country takes a notebook and keeps notes. We are calling out to the government from here, they should put us down as well in that notebook."
