In the earthquakes of February 6, 2023, Ezgi Apartment in Gaziantep collapsed and 35 people lost their lives. A lawsuit was filed regarding this incident and a court decision was made recently.
Labor Party Gaziantep Deputy Sevda Karaca reacted to the decision made in the Ezgi Apartment case, where 35 people lost their lives in the February 6 earthquakes, and said, "The decision was not a punishment to the murderers, but to the families of the 35 lives we lost under the rubble."
Karaca criticized the release of the defendants and said, "This struggle will not end until justice is served."
"THE LIVES OF THE POOR AND THE WORKERS ARE CHEAP IN THIS SYSTEM"
Sevda Karaca used the following statements in her statement on her social media account:
"Looking us straight in the eye, they showed us once again who the justice system in this country is doing and who is patting their backs. The decision in the Ezgi Apartment case was not a punishment for the murderers, but for the families of the 35 lives we lost under the rubble! Families struggled for months in the courthouse corridors and courtrooms, saying 'Get justice for our children.' A mother, Nurgül Göksu, scraped the debris with her nails and proved with her own hands that the column had been cut.
So what happened in the end? Where the prosecutor's office said 'possible intent', the court gave ridiculous sentences for 'conscious negligence'. They released those profiteers! Those who escaped for 700 days and enjoyed their time in their villas in Ankara were released in the courtroom, accompanied by the applause of the relatives of the defendants. Because that's the order! Labour's life is cheap in this system. When they have money and power against them, the laws suddenly get bent.
Did we hear what the apartment manager said? 'I warned, they threatened me, justice is available if you have money,' he says. This is exactly the truth! We will stand side by side to change this, we will not stop pursuing it. We will neither surrender to those profiteers nor to these court decisions that protect them. This struggle will not end until justice is served!”
