Summary written by Bill Bowring) following the admission of the application of Zübeyir Dündar by the European Court of Human Rights, followed by the author's questions raised in light of the admission. Bowring notes that it is impossible to appeal the Court's decision not to admit the portion of the application regarding the treatment of Mesut Dündar's body, and that 'It appears to me that it will be very hard to establish either that Mesut was taken into custody by the security forces, or that he was killed by them. Instead, the Court is highly likely to decide that the government's investigation was inadequate, and thus to find violations of Arts. 2, 6 and 13.' Bowring asks if the Kurdish Human Rights Project can provide translations of documents submitted by the Government and poses a number of questions for Zübeyir Dündar with regards to any further evidence that may exist, any losses the applicant may have suffered, or whether Zübeyir has been contacted by Government authorities in the last three years.
Response of the applicant to the observations of the Turkish Government on the application of Zübeyir Dündar to the European Commission of Human Rights. The reply notes that the Government appears to have made no attempt to locate or interview the witnesses referred to in the application, or any other witnesses, regarding the death and strangulation/dragging of Mesut Dündar. The reply also states that the Government's fear of the body of Mesut Dündar being booby-trapped is inherently implausible as it would have been foolish to disturb the body by attaching a rope or wire to it, notes that the photographs contained in the application's appendices show a number of security officers standing close to the body, and notes that the condition of Mesut's body and clothes as describes are consistent with his having been dragged a much longer distances than the respondent Government contends. The reply also refutes the idea that the application was submitted beyond the allowed time limit, as 'It was only after about 20 September 1994 that it became clear to the Applicant that the respondent Government were not taking, and would not take, the inquiry into his son's death seriously, and that there was no propsect of obtaining redress other than by applying to the Commission.'
