Ergin Cinmen, one of the lawyers of the Dink family in Hrant Dink’s murder case, demanded that the testimony of  the Associate Doctor Emin Gürses about the two people with Ogün Samast at the time of the murder should be investigated. Gürses was arrested for his connection with the Ergenekon organization.

Gürses stated in his testimony that he heard from a girl who witnessed the whole thing that there were two more people with Ogün Samast when he was on his way to murder Hrant Dink.

“The prosecutor for the Dink murder case should deepen the investigation”

Cinmen told bianet that in order to better understand the incidents like Hrant Dink’s murder and the flag burning in Mersin, it was necessary to deepen the investigation to identify those two people with Samast.

“Additional investigation will show the purpose of the organization better”

Cinmen indicated that considering that some of the people who are on trial organized the demonstrations, investigating every incident in more detail and collecting more proof would show the purpose of the organization better.

Cinmen also added that they were planning to go to the European Human Rights Court (EHRC) since they could not have the Turkish judiciary prosecute the authorities of the Istanbul Police Department for failing to protect a journalist and process the intelligence sent from Trabzon. (EÖ/EZÖ)
