"Turkey: Uncover Plot Behind Journalist’s Murder
European Court Holds Ankara Responsible for Killing of Hrant Dink
September 16, 2010
(Istanbul) - Turkish authorities should redouble their efforts to bring to justice all those involved in the killing of Hrant Dink, Human Rights Watch said today, following a ruling on September 14, 2010, of the European Court of Human Rights. The court ruled that Turkey should have, but failed to, take steps to protect Dink, the prominent Armenian-Turkish journalist, and failed to conduct an effective investigation into his murder in January 2007. The European Court ordered the government to pay his family €105,000 in damages."
