Turkey
An Istanbul court held the 23rd hearing of the Hrant Dink murder
trial today.
Yasin Hayal and Erhan Tuncel, present at the hearing, are suspected
of killing the Turkish-Armenian journalist.
Dink's family's lawyers said Trabzon police and military officers'
inaction was beyond neglectful and should be held as "accomplices in
manslaughter through negligence."
Laywers claimed Hayal's brother-in-law, Coşkun İğci, was being used
as an informant by the gendermerie and told security forces about
Dink's planned assassination.
State officials purposefully ignored İğci's intelligence and told
him not to tell anyone about the matter, Dink's family's lawyers said.
A group of protesters, calling themselves "Hrant's friends,"
gathered outside the courthouse before the hearing and released a
press statement saying they had been waiting for justice for five
years and would continue to do so even if it took 95 years.
