Turkey - Call for action against suspected masterminds of journalist's murder

"Turkey - Call for action against suspected masterminds of journalist's murder

MONTREAL, March 27 /CNW Telbec/ - Reporters Without Borders today
appealed to the government to act against those who ordered the 19 January
killing of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink as five people, some of them
extreme rightists, were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the murder.
'We are alarmed at the possible political implications of the case, whose
outcome is very important for Turkey's future,' the worldwide press freedom
organisation said. 'Those who carried out the murder must not be the only ones
to be punished. Many things point to them being supported by various prominent
groups and figures. The authorities must put a stop to these machinations,' it
said."
