DIYARBAKIR, Turkey — The families of the abducted children in Diyarbakır who have been staging a sit-in in front of the municipality have decided to pause their protest for one day on Sunday, due to the incidents in Lice which took the lives of two on Saturday.
The families have also said that they will start going on a two-day hunger strike tomorrow.
Süreyya Toklar, mother of abducted 16 year old Efekan Toklar, told an Anadolu Agency reporter that she is protesting because she wants her son, missing since for three months, to be found.
Toklar said the families have mutually agreed on going on a hunger strike. She also added that the families will turn the hunger strike to a death-fasting, if their demands are not met.
Toklar also said that the protesters are not politically motivated in any way.
