A Chain of Conscience for Hrant Dink

People will gather in front of the Galatasaray Highschool in Beyoğlu, central Istanbul, at 6.30 pm on Saturday, 4 July, in order to draw attention to the next hearing of the Dink murder case.

Hrant Dink, the editor of the Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos newspaper, was shot down and killed in front of his office in Istanbul on 19 January 2007.

"Come together again"

The call for the "chain of conscience" reads:

"19 January was an important day to bring together this country's conscience and minds. After a great loss, we managed to come together. We want to come together again, for our friend Hrant Dink, and for this country's future, and with him, we want our voices to be heard loudly and clearly.

There will be another gathering in Beşiktaş, the district where the court case takes place, on Monday, at 10 am. (BÇ/AG)
