QA-2, 06 February 2015
We welcome that the request for release on parole of the terrorist Hampig Sasunyan, who on 28 January 1982 assassinated in a treacherous attack Kemal Arıkan, Consul General of the Republic of Turkey in Los Angeles, has been rejected at the parole hearing held on 5 February 2015.
We consider this rejection decision as appropriate in terms of universal principles of justice as well as necessary for an effective and uncompromising stance against terrorism.
