The Senyaşar Family was given a "parking" fine because they put a banner demanding justice on their private car.
The justice vigil of Emine Şenyaşar, who lost her husband and two sons in an armed attack on June 14, 2018 in the Suruç district of Urfa, that involved AKP Deputy İbrahim Halil Yıldız's bodyguards and relatives, and his son Ferit Şenyaşar, who was injured in the same attack marks day 651. The family continued their vigil by putting a banner reading "Justice" on their car parked in front of the courthouse in Urfa.
Ferit Şenyaşar stated that the family’s private car was given a "parking" fine last week. He pointed out that the car parked near the vigil area, which they called "Justice Corner", was fined and the fine was imposed citing a parking ban in the area. Pointing to the sign that parking is prohibited, Senyaşar said that the courthouse staff violated the ban, but only their car was fined. He continued: "If there is a ban in front of this courthouse, it should be applied to everyone. We do not want double standards in law. We condemn this parking fine. We do not accept it. We will file a criminal complaint with the prosecutor's office to object to it. If a parking fine is given to us, why are all these vehicles here?”
'INSTRUCTIONS OF SUPERIORS'
Şenyaşar said: “The President is a party to the case. He knows well that he is misled in this case. If the president makes a statement, justice can be secured, and prosecutors will do their duty. We are right, the authorities know that we are right. But the laws are not applied, and the instructions of superiors are followed.”
Şenyaşar stated that they were subjected to repeated attacks in front of the courthouse. He added: “Anyone who contributed to the injustice and persecution against us in front of the courthouse will be prosecuted when this government changes. We want justice. We will not give up on our just demand.”
