Five defendants in the case into the murder of Istanbul Armenian journalist Hrant Dink will be set free. 

The murder trial resumed, according to Nor (New) Marmara Armenian daily of Istanbul.

And at the end of the court session, four police officers and a publisher, who are defendants in this murder case, were released, but on a signature bond to not leave Turkey. 

Hrant Dink, the founder and chief editor of Agos Armenian bilingual weekly of Istanbul, was gunned down on January 19, 2007, outside the then office of this newspaper.

In 2011, the perpetrator, Ogün Samast, was sentenced by a juvenile court to 22 years and ten months for the murder. 

After long court proceedings and appeals, however, a new probe was ultimately launched in this murder case, and regarding numerous former and serving senior Turkish officials’ complicity in this assassination.
