Alongside Elçi’s colleagues and widow Türkan Elçi were Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-chair Mithat Sancar, Democratic Society Congress (DTK) Co-chair Berdan Öztürk, Democratic Regions Party (DBP) Co-chair Saliha Aydeniz, as well as representatives from human rights organisations, workers’ unions, and chambers of medicine and engineering from across the region.
“We have been searching for the killers of Tahir Elçi for five years as they are protected under an armour of impunity,” current Diyarbakır Bar Association Chairman Cihan Aydın said in his speech at the historic Four Pillared Minaret in Diyarbakır’s Sur district, as reported by Mezopotamya Agency.
