The 2nd hearing of the case, which combines the "workplace" and "hospital" files, regarding the massacre perpetrated against the Şenyaşar family by the bodyguard and relatives of former AKP Deputy Ibrahim Halil Yıldız on 14 June 2018 in Suruç (Pirsûs), in the province of Urfa (Riha) was heard at the High Criminal Court.

Fadıl Şenyalar, who has been detained in a solitary cell in Elazığ Prison for more than 5 years, said at the hearing: "I have been detained for 5 years, I do not accept this. I am being held here unjustly. I do not accept the accusations. There is no gun, but I am under arrest. If a gun were found, it would be confirmed that I did not shoot. They are hiding the gun because I did not commit the crime. I repeat my previous defenses and demand to be freed pending trial."

The other defendants in prison, Enver Yıldız, Celal Yıldız and Mekail Şimşek,  rejected the charges and requested release. Reacting to the defendants' description of the Şenyaşar family as "terrorists", Emine Şenyaşar said: "They killed my children and husband and they call us terrorists. Terrorists are those who murder people in the hospital. My son was arrested without guilt."

The court board decided to remove Emine Şenyaşar from the hall. The family's lawyers protested the decision and prevented Emine Şenyaşar from being taken out.

Ferit Şenyaşar, Green Left Party MP for Urfa said: "While we were on our Justice Vigil, 8 prosecutors changed. After 4 years, this case came to Malatya. There was a massacre at the hospital. We received crime scene investigation footage 5 years later. This is not justice. There were ministers, governors and district governors in the hospital. When the massacre took place, the then AKP MP Ibrahim Halil Yıldız came out of the hospital waving his hand. His immunity is over, he needs to be tried and arrested. We want the police chief, who was the witness of the massacre, to be heard. Abdullah Erin, the former Governor of Urfa, said that the hospital camera records are in the state archive. A crime against humanity has been committed. My brother has been innocently imprisoned for 5 years. We demand his acquittal."

No release for Fadıl Şenyaşar

Announcing its decision, the court board decided to reject the request for the detention of those convicted pending trial, to evaluate the request for the hearing of the then Minister of Food and Agriculture Ahmet Eşref Fakıbaba to be heard at the next hearing, to keep in prison Fadıl Şenyaşar and Enver Yıldız, considering the "strong suspicion of crime". Celal Yıldız and Mekail Şimşek will also continue to stay in prison.

The court board decided to set the next hearing for 6 October. Emine Şenyaşar protested the decision by saying, "How is this justice? There is no state, there is no justice."

Justice Vigil expected to move to Ankara

Ferit Şenyaşar, who made a statement at the Justice Vigil in front of the Urfa Courthouse on 16 July, said that they would bring their action before the Ministry of Justice in Ankara, if a proper decision were not taken in the trial in Malatya.
