Hrant Dink’s friends are asking for public’s interest in the sixth
hearing of the murder case that will be heard at Istanbul’s 14th High
Criminal Court tomorrow (July 7) morning with the call `To the court
for Hrant, for Justice! It has been 1 year. What happened?’
They will gather at BeÅ?iktaÅ? Square at 9.30 in the
morning to support justice for Hrant Dink, slained founder and chief
editor of Agos, an Armenian/Turkish weekly.
"We do not shut up, we do not give up. We want justice’ Hrant’s
friends remind everyone that it has been 535 days since Hrant was
killed and 534 days since his killer was caught, but nothing has
really been accomplished in the last five hearings.
They criticize the trial process by asking how long they would have to
wait so that the judicial process will see the facts, although
O.S. became Ogün Samast and the story of how he killed Hrant
was told many times.
`We will again be at the court for Hrant, for justice,’ say Hrant’s
friends. `They want us to shut up. We did not shut up. We did not give
up. We are not shutting up; we are not giving up. We wanted
justice. We want to witness the revelation of justice. We are
gathering for Hrant, for justice.
The court will hear accused Coskun Ä°Ä?ci and the other
witnesses It is expected that since Ogün Samast is eighteen now
the trial will be open to the media. The court will hear Coskun
Ä°Ä?ci, gendarmerie informant and former husband of Yasin
Hayal’s aunt.
The court will receive information from close to ten witnesses.
Ä°Ä?ci, witness of the Trabzon Gendarmerie case, is the
19th accused in Ä°stanbul Gendarmerie informant
Ä°Ä?ci was added to the case as the 19th accused, but did
not testify in his first appearance since he did not have his
lawyer. (EÃ-/EZÃ-/TB)
