Judges in charge of the case on the murder in Paris of three Kurdish politicians on 9 January 2013, have rejected defense lawyers' demand for an "investigation into the possibility that suspect Ömer Güney had been subjected to surveillance and follow-up by French administrative authorities before the incident".

The three Kurdish politicians, Sakine Cansız, a co-founder of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), Fidan Doğan, representative of the Kurdistan National Congress (KNK) in Paris, and Leyla Şaylemez, member of the Kurdish youth movement, were executed in Paris on 9 January. The perpetrators and the powers behind the execution still remain unknown with French authorities having shed no light on the killings so far.

According to the statement lawyer Antoin Comte made to the press, judges Cristophe Teissier and Jeanne Duye rejected the lawyers' demand on the grounds that “the demand is not relevant to the case”.

Antoin Comte remarked that he had raised an objection against the decision of the judges on 20 September, underlining that the decision was disputable.
