We knew them with the watch they wait in front of Gebze Prison that they started after visiting their children. They came togerther in front of the prison with white muslins on their heads when they could not take that fact that their children are wasting away. They are afraid they could recieve bad news any moment. One of the mothers Hatice Söyler who is waiting her watch against all oppression and detentions fro 21 days is 55 years old. Söyler is in Gebze to support her dagther who is on hunger strike since December 16,2018. She came from İzmir 2 month ago.

It is possible to see the joy in her eyes with the hope calling out to her daughter outside of the prison.Söyler says: "We are mothers. We can stay anywhere as long as our children are alive.As long as we can keep them alive. As long as we can be their voice.
