The Ankara court dismissed the compensation claim of intelligence officer Zenit filed with bianet. Zenit had sued bianet by reason of publishing the transcript of a telephone conversation between him and Tuncel, suspect in the murder case of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink.

The Beyoğlu Attorney General's Office did not see sufficient reasons for a lawsuit of police officer Zenit against bianet. Bianet had criticized Zenit because of the police officer's phone talks with murder suspect Tuncel prior to the murder of Hrant Dink. However, bianet is facing a 25,000 Turkish Lira compensation claim.

A trial against bianet, based on the complaint filed by police officer Muhittin Zenit, is continuing.

Police officer Muhittin Zenit, who was on the agenda after Dink’s murder for the telephone conversation he had with one of the conspirators of the murder, Erhan Tuncel, is suing bianet.org and the NTV news channel for damages.
