Amnesty International has released a statement urging for a full investigation into the murder of three Kurdish activists in Paris, calling for ‘no stone to be left unturned’.
The human rights group’s Europe and Central Asia Programme Director John Dalhuisen said,
“There must be justice for these apparently political killings – no stone must be left unturned in the investigation by the French authorities."
“The Turkish authorities must cooperate fully in the investigation to bring those responsible to justice."“Both sides must ensure that the killings do not derail negotiations aimed at ending the decades long conflict and on-going human rights abuses.”
Amnesty went on to state that the investigation into the murder of the activists must be “prompt and thorough”.
