Emrullah Acar's only crime is to report the truth. He hasn't committed any crime. When we started our struggle in front of the courthouse, we had two demands. Our first demand was the release of my brother who is held in solitary confinement in a prison for 3 years unlawfully, and our second demand was for the perpetrators of the massacre at the hospital to be prosecuted. Today we add a third demand; Release Emrullah Acar.  We will try to make Emrullah Acar's voice heard until he is released."
