Did Hamit Bayram Flee Iran?
Meanwhile, the heroin of 48 kilos which Bayram was caught red handed with, during a bargain with police, has also not been found. Former deputy Mustafa Bayram, the father of Hamit Bayram, reportedly called two ministers on the phone to cover-up this incident. However, the ministers turned him down.
Oktay Eksi said, “Hamit Bayram has been recorded to the police registration since 1979, as “a drug smuggler”. He was sentenced to a 5-year prison punishment. He had been also tried for 8 years because of killing 2 people. However, this trial has not ended.
“Bayram was captured last week and later on fled the security station. I wonder why the police who enjoy to hand-cuff a writer, who is questioned because of his articles, did not hand-cuff Bayram.
“A claim was pointed out in yesterday’s dailies, saying, “Is there an affiliation between the assassination attempt on Van’s Governor Hikmet Tan, on July 2 and this drug network?”
“Neither PKK/Kongra-Gel nor DHKP-C claimed responsibility on the raid in Van. As we see, in Van, there is an incident which causes doubts against those who use the state’s power and which reveals that drug smugglers pervade everywhere, similar to Susurluk.”
