Semdinli trial. Once again.

So TSK has got its will through. The Semdlinli bomb attack will be investigated in a military court instead of the Van 3rd Penal Court.

Here is picture of Murat Timur whom Bianet interviewed the 17th September. He is one of the victims’ advocates. I took the picture about two weeks before the bomb attack.

So on the other side there are young but very talented Kurds. On the other side there are retired Turkish generals and other people near the retirement age. Funny isn’t it? No, it is not funny. It is very sad. Not only for the sake of the Kurds but also because of the Turks. It is also their right to know what happened in Semdinli the 9th November 2005.

There are now some technical problems in blogspot so I can not add a link. But you find Bianet's information about Semdinli trial here:
