18 press freedom groups, including ECPMF signed open letters to Justice Ministry & political parties to request thorough investigations, sent by the International Press Institute, to urge Turkish authorities to investigate serious new allegations regarding the unsolved murders of the two prominent investigative journalists Uğur Mumcu and Kutlu Adalı, killed in Turkey and Northern Cyprus in 1993 and 1996 which should not be left unanswered.
