European Court declared Turkish state guilty over Dink case

 The European Court of Human Rights has found the Turkish state guilty of failing to protect the life and freedom of expression of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, the court said in a statement.

The case at the European court was initially investigating Dink's conviction for insulting Turkishness in his column in the weekly Agos. The journalist had brought the case against the Turkish state to the European court.
After Dink was killed in front of his newspaper’s building in Istanbul in January 2007, his family opened an additional case at the high court, accusing the Turkish state of failing to protect the journalist’s right to life.

The court found the Turkish state guilty on two charges — failing to protect Dink's right to life and freedom of expression — and sentenced the state to pay 133,595 euros to Dink's family in compensation and an extra 28,595 euros to the court for expenditures, broadcaster CNNTurk reported
