The first hearing of the case was held last week, where the families were subjected to police violence. The court withdrew from the case shortly after the hearing began.

Mısra Öz Sel, who lost her son and husband in the incident, shared a poem with the photos of her son.

Bugün efkarlıyım açmasın güller

Demirden döşeği taştan sedirler
