Murder of Christians in Turkey condemned: Three killed at publishing house
The killing of three Christians at a religious publishing house in eastern Turkey has triggered strong condemnation by U.S. and international church and advocacy groups. Twelve suspects were charged on April 22 with the killings of the three men—Necati Aydin and Ugur Yuksel, both Turkish Christians, and Tilman Ekkehart Geske, a German national—in slayings that have prompted concerns about the safety of the minority Christian community in Turkey.
