The man who murdered Hrant Dink, the award-winning editor-in-chief of a newspaper in Turkey, has been jailed for almost 23 years.

A juvenile court in Istanbul imposed the sentence on ultra-nationalist Ogün Samast – who was 17 at the time of Dink's killing – after convicting him of premeditated murder and carrying an unlicensed gun.

Samast gunned down Dink, who edited the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos, in broad daylight in January 2007.
