While Mother Şenyaşar could not come to vigil area today due to her health problems and continued the vigil at their home, Ferit Şenyaşar joined the vigil in front of Urfa Courthouse.

The family shared a message on their social media account, tagging the accounts of Women’s Councils, Free Women’s Movement (TJA), Republican People’s Party (CHP) Women’s Branch. The message reads: “There are many varieties of violence and one of them is ‘injustice’. A woman in Urfa (Emine Şenyaşar) has been resisting violence before the eyes of the whole country. Violence against women is violence against humanity. Stop this violence urgently.”
