Turkey's 'Saturday People' Demand Justice for Man Missing 28 Years
A Turkish protest group has again demanded answers about a man who disappeared in state custody 28 years ago. The group, known as the Saturday People, focused its weekly vigil on the fate of Mehmet Özdemir. He was taken into detention and never seen again. The Saturday People began as the "Saturday Mothers" in the 1990s. They hold silent sit-ins to seek justice for relatives who disappeared after being detained by security forces. The group vows it will never stop seeking justice for Özdemir and all other missing persons.
