*TİHV President Şebnem Korur Fincancı: We couldn't be a voice to Mustafa, we couldn't find a solution, yes! But..Hunger strikes are not new to this country, but unfortunately we are face to face with a political will that ignores the solution even it if a very simple solution.

 

*CHP Former MP Melda Onur: You and your friends will be known as the ministers and government of an era where people die from hunger to justice!

 

*HDP MP Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu: Mustafa Koçak has passed away. All he wanted was a fair trial. They didn't give him that. He is the latest victim of an unjust judiciary. His family fought hard for him. They couldn't make it. They couldn't make themselves heard by the people. Those who have conscience will have an ache in them, those who don't have already turned a blind eye. The voice of justice have drowned.

 

* Journalist Can Dündar: While you are starting to fast for worship, #MustafaKoçak gave his life in a death fast for justice. His blood is on our hands..

 

* Journalist Can Dündar: You think that this won't happen to you, don't you? Someone you don't know can give a false statement against you and then you get arrested. You can tell them that is a lie but no one will listen. Justice is blind and the government is deaf. Your friends and family fights for you with no results. Your last resort is to set yourself on fire. #MustafaKoçak died for 'Justice'!

 

* Artist Tolga Sağ: Think of Mustafa in the first fast of the Ramadan. Chew on your first bite thinking of a yound person who died with a 297 day hunger while you released murderers, sex offenders and thieves. #MustafaKoçak

 

* Artist Levent Üzümcü: A young man who earned his living selling sandwiches in a wheelbarrow have been sentenced to aggravated life sentece with the statement of an 'anonymous witness'. He said he didn't do it but no one listened. He started a death fast when no one listened. He passed away silently in the first sahur of the ramadan. He is no more! #MustafaKoçak

 

* HDP MP Filiz Kerestecioğlu: One more young sould have gone..You are cruel and this is how you'll go down in history. He will never come back. You did not give him the chance to prove his innocence. You never thought there was a possibility... #MustafaKoçak

 

* Democratic Society Congress (DTK): #MustafaKocak, who has been death fasting for 297 days with the demand of "fair trial"  has lost his life. Mustafa walked into immortality wasting away cell by cell. Mustafa walked into immortality resisting cell by cell. The government slaughtered Mustafa to prevent hearing a witness. We bow respectfully in front of his memory."
