According to a report in yesterday's Today Zaman, a prison inmate has
come forth with a request to share `secret' information regarding the
network behind the murder of Hrant Dink in exchange for a transfer to
the witness protection program.
The individual claims he and others worked for the JİTEM, an illegal
organization that was established in the gendarmerie in the 90s to
fight terrorism but employed illegitimate and often brutal methods.
They also say they were involved in the planning phase of the murder
and have valuable information regarding the planning and the aftermath
of the assassination.
The inmate says they possess phone conversations with top-ranking
officials before and after the Dink murder and other evidence to back
their allegations.
The man, now serving a homicide sentence, wrote a letter confessing to
being implicated in the killing to an Istanbul juvenile court earlier
this year which tried Ogun Samast, the man who shot and killed Hrant
Dink.
The Dink cased is now being processed by the Supreme Court of Appeals.
