Turkish judges to decide whether to join ‘Cage’ with Malatya killings

Turkish judges to decide whether to join ‘Cage’ with Malatya killings - Hurriyet Daily News and Economic Review
Judges hearing a case about the murders of three Christians in Malatya in 2007 announced Thursday a decision to consider whether to merge the trial’s file with the “Cage Action Plan” case, which is scheduled to open on June 15.

The “Kafes” (Cage) Action Plan called for the bombing of a museum during a student visit, and also termed the killings of three missionaries, the murder of Hrant Dink, a Turkish journalist of Armenian origin, and the murder of Priest Andrea Santoro in Trabzon as “operations.”

The judges will now decide whether to combine the cases and will make their announcement at the trial’s next hearing on May 14.
