Seven members of a Kurdish family were killed Friday in central Turkey by armed assailants who tried to burn their house in what rights activists said was a racist attack

The Dedeoglu family had been seriously injured in another attack in the middle of May by neighbours who warned them that they"will not let Kurds live here" in the region of Konya.One of the dead members had complained in mid-July that the police and judges had been partial towards the May attackers, who had been freed and said the family feared for their lives.

Abdurrahman Karabulut, their lawyer, said the liberation of the perpetrators of the first attack signaled impunity. "This was an entirely racist attack ... the judiciary and the authorities are responsible for what has happened," Karabulut told Arti TV."This was a case we were following. The youngest family member told me 'We are very scared'," tweeted Eren Keskin, the vice president of the Human Rights Association.On July 21, a Kurdish farmer was killed in a village in Konya by attackers who shouted"We don't want Kurds here".
