filed against Yucel Sayman, the lawyer of the family of Hrant Dink, the
editor-in-chief of the weekly "Agos", on the charge of "an offence".

who represented the plaintiff’s side, "vile people" during the trial
on the case of Hrant and Arat Dinks, as well as of Sargis Serobian
held in May 2006 served as a basis for filing a case against him.

the charge of "an offence" in the bill of indictment made by Hayrettin
