Claim for States Repsonsibility in Malatya
Wife of T.E. Geske, who had been brutally murdered as working in a Christian publishing house two weeks ago, Susanne says she will pursue a case against the authorities for failing to protect her husband and two others despite open threats.
According to local Yenigün newspaper's article, Geske has compared the brutal murder of the three working in Zirve publishing house to the racist attack on Turkish descendants in Solingen, Germany in early 1990's.
Susanne Geske said she wouldn't leave Malatya despite all: "We loved Malatya, my children go to school here, my husband rests here. Others should have solicited those children who murdered my husband. I want to see them brought to justice".
İzmir Protestant Church's Pasteur Fikret Böcek noted that, fearing for their lives, 15 of the 22 Christian families living in Malatya have left the city after the incident, which incited international attention.
We still receive threats, Böcek added.
On another account, Malatya Güncel newspaper reports that another suspect thought to be linked to the murder has been taken under custody in Kocaeli.(EÜ)
