European Court to consider Hrant Dink’s suit

The European Court proceeded to the suit issued by Hrant Dink, the killed editor of Agos Turkish-Armenian newspaper, after being handed a suspended six-month sentence in compliance of Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code (insulting “Turkishness”). Over the death of the plaintiff the European Court addressed his family on the issue, say Turkish media.

The European Court of Human Rights stated that Dink’s suit points out to violation of four articles of the Convention on Human Rights Protection and fundamental freedoms, reports IA Regnum.
