Outcry grows over the release of Hrant Dink's murderer

The release of Ogün Samast, the murderer of Hrant Dink, who was killed in front of the Agos newspaper in 2007, has sparked a massive outcry.

12punto 15 November 2023

Ogün Samast, who murdered Agos newspaper Editor-in-Chief Hrant Dink on January 19, 2007, has been released under conditional release. Human rights defenders, journalists, politicians, and many social media users have reacted to Samast's release.

Here are the reactions:

He was the triggerman, Hrant Dink's murderer Ogün Samast was released just now but
??The masterminds were never caught.
??The execution law was applied to the triggerman murderer but
for example, for Barış Pehlivan, for example for İlhan Sami Çomak, for example for Gülten Kışanak, for example for hundreds who were not granted good conduct time due to fabricated reasons…

While dear Can Atalay, Tayfun Kahraman, Çiğdem Mater, and my brother Barış Pehlivan are lying in prison, they released Hrant Dink's murderer Ogün Samast!!!
Look at the irony of fate…

Hrant Dink's murderers were never actually arrested anyway. Only Ogün Samast, who was made to pull the trigger, and those who provided the weapon were arrested. Those who turned a blind eye to the intelligence and paved the way for a murder in plain sight, however, boasted by looking at their handiwork.

The regime that keeps Can Atalay, Osman Kavala, Tayfun Kahraman, Barış Pehlivan, and Çiğdem Mater in prison has released Hrant Dink's murderer Ogün Samast, how about that!
