Diyarbakır to host absentee funeral prayer for Turkish citizen martyred in Jerusalem

The Prophet Lovers Foundation and the Confederation of Public Servants Trade Unions (Memur-Sen) jointly announced the funeral prayer, which will take place following the noon prayer at Sümer Mosque in the Yenişehir district.

Additionally, after the funeral prayer, Memur-Sen will organize a 1 May event focusing on ‘Gaza’ in Sümer Park.

Hasan Saklanan, 34, hailing from Şanlıurfa, served as an imam in the Kepez rural neighborhood of Haliliye district and was a father of four.

Saklanan lost his life yesterday in Jerusalem after engaging in a stabbing attack to protest the massacre and genocide in Gaza, resulting in his tragic death at the hands of Israeli forces. (ILKHA)
