The families said they staged the sit-in protest because their children had been kidnapped to the rural areas controlled by the PKK, adding that they will continue their actions until their children are given back.

Some of the families blame HDP that their children were last seen in the HDP's Diyarbakır office.

Mother Hacire Akar staged a sit-in protest at the same place last August on the ground that her 21-year-old- son kidnapped by HDP, while her action resulted positively and her son was sent back to her. (ILKHA)
