Relatives of those who disappeared in the 80s and 90s due to enforced disappearances in Turkey held a sit-in in Istanbul, following a court ruling. The group, known as the “Saturday Mothers,” has been protesting every Saturday since 1995 to demand justice for their missing relatives. In 2018, the police violently cracked down on their demonstration, but on Saturday, for the first time since 2018, they were able to hold their vigil without police interference. This comes after the Interior Minister expressed intentions to find a peaceful solution to the issue. The group has been calling for an investigation into the disappearances, which occurred at the height of the PKK rebellion in the Kurdish-dominated southeast. The activists claim that their relatives went missing after reported abductions, in police detention, or in extrajudicial killings, and they believe that the government has not properly investigated the fate of those who disappeared. Despite facing trials and police crackdowns, the group continues to demand justice and refuses to stop searching for their missing loved ones.
