Dink's trial continues even after his death

PanARMENIAN.Net - On Tuesday, after about three weeks after the assassination of Agos Armenian-Turkish newspaper editor Hrant Dink, the Sisli circuit court of Istanbul resumed legal proceeding against Dink, who was earlier accused of "insulting Turkishness" and handed a 6 months' suspended sentence. The Turkish Court of Appeal agreed with the sentence but changed it stating that 15 people who brought in the suit can't be considered plaintiffs, since the "insult" was not targeted at them. Yesterday the Sisli court fulfilled the order of the Supreme Court and decreed that the individuals who took the action are not plaintiffs. However, a judge said that Dink's death was not officially registered in the court records and postponed the hearing to June 14, reports RFE/RL.
