Thousands of people have gathered in the Turkish city of Istanbul to commemorate the ethnic Armenian journalist Hrant Dink who was shot dead a year ago today in front of his newspaper offices. They also gathered to protest his murder and against the slow pace of justice. The chief suspect in the case is a 17-year-old ultra-nationalist. A total of 19 people are being tried in connection with Mr Dink’s murder.

Amnesty International has called on Turkey to fully examine the circumstances of the murder and widen the scope of the investigation. The human rights organisation says Ankara must investigate the role of law enforcement officials who failed to act on death threats made against the journalist.Amnesty disputes the official version of events which says the culprit acted alone.
