Participation in the sit-in protest outside the HDP Diyarbakir office continues.

Cebrail Taş, a resident of Güngören, Istanbul, who is originally from Kurdish majority city, Batman, took part in the sit-in protest staged outside HDP office in Diyarbakir for his 14-year-old daughter Ece Taş, who was kidnapped in 2015.

Grieving father Taş says his daughter was kidnapped while working in a textile factory with her older sisters.

"They kidnapped my daughter at lunchtime. I believe she was taken to Kobane, Syria. So far, they even did not care to notify us about the fate of my daughter, said father Taş.

Stating that he has applied to all the institutions of the state, father Taş noted that he couldn't get help from anywhere he applied. "I have a burning heart for 4 years."

Painful father expressed that he left his job in Istanbul with the hope of finding his daughter, demands help from the state and all political party representatives for her daughter to be sent back and ease their pain.

"My daughter's friends who went to Kobane say she was in Kobane," he lastly said while called her daughter to come back. (ILKHA)
