More than 200 people gathered before the court hearing in
Besiktas. They once again demanded investigations into allegations
of involvement against state and security officials.
"Where are those who ordered this murder? Where are the police officers
who had been controlling the main suspects since the McDonald's
combing in Trabzon? Where are the officials who raced to declare
their sympathies for the accused? Where are the gendarmerie officers
who knew the type of the murder gun, before the murder? None of them
are on trial."
Activists and right defenders gathered this morning in Beiktas once
again to declare their demand for justice for the killing of Turkish
Armenian journalist Hrant Dink on 19 January 2007.
Actress Derya Alabora and actor Mahir Gunsiray read the press
statement. They protested that investigations against state officials
allegedly involved in the killing or failed to prevent it are
systematically blocked.
Among those participated at the meeting are as follows:
Umit Firat, Muhsin Kizilkaya, Dogan Tarkan, Sema Kilicer, Zeynep
Tanbay, Feza Kurkcuoglu, Ufuk Uras, Takuhi Tovmasyan, Oral Calislar,
Osman Kavala, Hakan Tahmaz, Nilgun Yurdalan, Erol Kizilelma, Cengiz
Aktar, Ipek Calislar, Bagis_ Erten, Kenan Isikk, Deniz Tuna, Zeynep
Taskinn, Gencay Gursoy, Murat Celikkan, Tayfun Mater, Yasemin Goksu,
