The statement, which noted that Ebru Timtik and Aytaç Ünsal were the lawyers of many social cases such as Soma and Ermenek mine massacres, the massacre of Çorlu Railway and Ali İsmail Korkmaz, Dilek Doğan ve Berkin Elvan trials as well, as they never looked for no material benefit or financial worries, included the following remarks: "Their crime is that they are in the side of the oppressed class, which is subjected to injustice. Ebru and Aytaç demand the Penal Department no. 16 of the Supreme Court to read and conclude their files as soon as possible. Our task today is to take care of our lawyers and to share their struggle for a fair trial. We can only make our children live if we embrace them and raise their voices."
