Light Sentence for Hrant Dink's Killer



Is this really perceived as justice in Turkey?
Ogun Samast, who is being accused of assassinating "Agos" Armenian-Turkish bilingual weekly editor-in-chief Hrant Dink, most likely will escape life imprisonment. The juvenile offender is threatened with a 24-year-term imprisonment, and most likely he will be freed after 9 years.
This sounds like a joke. If Turkey hopes to show good will towards Armenians as it claims, then a real sentence must be imposed. Then again, once he is freed, he will most likely be killed - if not during his time in jail.

I am sure he will be treated like a hero on prison and after, not killed.

I think we're at a point that we're mobilized and organized enough to manage have this douchebag killed in prison, or as soon as he gets out.

...And if we're smart, we'll pay a turk to do it, and leave him with all the blame.
