Former TRT Anchor Sırrı Er: “We Will Continue to Call for Justice Without Discrimination”

For some, the pursuit of justice in these lands is a futile endeavor. They reinforce this hopelessness with examples.

I know that this is how things are in this part of the world.

Nevertheless, if we continue to speak of justice, law, and democracy with friends like you, while preserving our civility and keeping hope alive, then above all, this is proof that our faith in justice, law, and democracy still stands firmly.

Forgive me.

I kindly ask you to continue commenting, even if it is only a single dot, due to the restrictions on visibility. In order to overcome the algorithm, make our voices heard by more people, and build a life worthy of human dignity. Thank you.

Despite everything, we will continue to emphasize “justice without discrimination.”

When the law becomes a tool in the hands of the powerful, those who remain silent today may find themselves forced to seek refuge in that very same law tomorrow.

The responsibility lies with us/the people as individuals who question, exercise our will, and demonstrate awareness.

Only when the people reach this level can the country truly attain peace. Continuing to expect salvation from politics is nothing more than engaging in futility.

The issue is whether we can adhere to the principles outlined in “The Good Citizen, The Good Person,” written by Hasan Âli Yücel.

Those who say, “It doesn’t affect me,” when someone else’s rights are violated eventually begin seeking justice when their own doors are knocked on. Justice is not merely a seat belt we need only on the day we become victims; it is a shared conscience that must be protected.

The greatest folly of a society is becoming accustomed to injustice.

If we want justice today, we must first undertake a collective examination of conscience. We must learn to demand justice not only for ourselves, but also for people whose ideas we dislike and whose worldview we do not share.

Justice is not a favor; it is the fundamental pillar that keeps us all standing. If that pillar collapses, it will not only be those who have suffered injustice who are buried beneath it—we all will be.

Therefore, the first condition for rebuilding justice is to awaken from complacency and stand courageously on the side of truth.
