He reports on Saturday Mothers/People
Emre Orman has been regularly following the protests of Saturday Mothers/People in Beyoğlu, İstanbul. Speaking to bianet, Orman previously stated the following about the mothers and their protests:
"Just think about it: You listen the sorrows of mothers every week, you learn their stories. It is impossible not to be affected as a human. Their sorrow has become our sorrow. When they are subjected to violence, we also get hurt. We do not see ourselves different from them.
"We are wherever the mothers are. They have been putting up barriers between us for weeks. In the middle of all those shields, we are trying to find a way to make their voices heard, to reach the mothers. We will not give up making the voices of mothers heard." (EMK/SD)
