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 also 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.

Emine Şenyaşar and her son Ferit Şenyaşar, who is a candidate for the Green Left Party, went to Urfa Courthouse to hold their daily vigil in front of the banner that read "Justice for the Şenyaşar family".

Ferit Şenyaşar said: “Today is May Day. We want justice for the workers. We will also be the voice of the 301 miners killed in Soma. We will continue our fight. Our struggle is growing and the government that perpetrated this injustice and unlawfulness will go. We will bring justice and peace to Turkey together."
