URFA- The Court of Appeal fundamentally overturned the local court's decision regarding the attacks on the Şenyaşar family's workplaces. The court found the sentence given to Fadıl Şenyaşar low and stated that it was mandatory to carry out the workplace and hospital files together.
AKP Urfa MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız and his bodyguard and relatives attacked Şenyaşar family, who “visited” the workplace of Şenyaşar family in Pirsus district of Urfa on June 14, 2018. The attacks continued at Suruç State Hospital, where the injured were taken. Father Hacı Esvet Şenyaşar, his sons Adil and Celal Şenyaşar, who went to the hospital to see their children, who were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, were murdered in front of their mother Emine Şenyaşar.
Although the investigation into the incident took place on the same day, it was divided into two as "workplace" and "hospital". A decision was made on April 2, 2021 in the case before the Malatya 3rd High Criminal Court regarding the attack at the workplace. 37 years and 9 months to Fadıl Şenyaşar, who lost his father and two brothers in the massacre and who survived with serious injuries; Enver Yıldız, who came to the Urfa Courthouse and surrendered 18 months after the incident, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
While the court board decided that there was no need to sentence Ferit Şenyaşar, one of the pending defendants of the case, the other defendants of the file were Suleyman Yıldız 4 years 3 months 22 days, Abdurrahman Yıldız 11 months 23 days, Kenan Yıldız 4 years 8 months 18 days, Mustafa Yıldız. a 1 year 1 month 14 days, Mehmet Yıldız 6 months 22 days, Nihat Yıldız 1 year 11 months 18 days, Halil İbrahim Şimşek 3 years 9 months, Mehmet Şimşek 2 years 6 months 10 days, Mehmet Yıldız was sentenced to 2 years, 6 months and 10 days in prison. The file of İbrahim Yıldız, for whom an arrest warrant was issued, was dismissed because he could not be caught.
The lawyers of the Şenyaşar family and the lawyers of the Yıldız family took the decision to the Antep Regional Court of Justice. The 2nd Penal Chamber of the Antep Regional Court of Justice, which examined the applications, requested that the missing points in the file be corrected. The 2nd Penal Chamber of the Antep District Court of Justice overturned the local court's decision on its merits on December 8.
'FILE MUST BE COMBINED'
The court said that since it was not determined whether Adil Şenyaşar was brought to Suruç State Hospital alive or not, and it was not determined which of the defendants died as a result of their actions, it was imperative that the trial be carried out together by making a decision to unite first.
The court found it unlawful to convict Mehmet Şimşek without taking his defense.
