Berkin Elvin Ad Published on NYT

A full page ad entitled “No Justice For Berkin” to honor Berkin Elvin by “Gezi Democracy Movement” has been published in the New York Times. 

The ad read as follows: 

“No political authority, personal fortune or ego is worth this boy's life!

“15-year-old Berkin died after spending 269 days in a coma following an injury inflicted by a teargas canister shot directly to his head. 

“The Turkish police, Erdoğan's 'heroes,' shot him on his way to buy bread. 

“Those responsible do not have a conscience. Use yours.

"Speak up for justice!

“#RememberBerkin” 

The campaign aimed to collect $57,000, but it has exceeded $59,000 already. (EA/BM)
