‘We have to fight’

For three years, still justice has not been achieved. We see the slowness of the law. Does the law work only for the powerful? Why can't citizens benefit from the law? As mothers and women, we feel the pain of Emine mother. As Kurds, we are already struggling not to be treated as second class. But as women, we have to fight twice. As Kurdish women, we have, and we have to fight much stronger. "We will continue to be with the family until justice is provided." 
 
Ferit Şenyaşar said that the visits were valuable and said: "We will continue to be here with my mother. We will continue our struggle for justice with solidarity."
