Appeal of Murdered Journalists Widow
Indictment is Worrying
Rakel Dink wants to avoid her husband's murder being compared to other extra-judicial killings. One of the Dink family's lawyers, Erdan Dogan, complained to bianet that although the letter was sent to the Prime Minister before the indictment had been made public, the widow has received no answer.
According to Dogan, the request for the investigation to be pursued by the Prime Minsterial Review Committee is based on the desire to leave in Turkey in peace and to bring to light the truth about Dink's murder. The indictment, which was published after Rakel Dink's letter, proves her worries to be right.
A trial against 18 people, many of them from the Black Sea city of Trabzon, will start at an Istanbul Heavy Penal Court on 2 July. Because the young man accused of killing Hrant Dink is under age, the press will not be admitted. (EÖ/TK/AG)
