The Life and Legacy of Gokhan Acikkollu: A Teacher Tortured to Death

This book shares the story of Gökhan Açıkkollu, a dedicated teacher who was tortured to death in police custody after the 2016 coup attempt in Turkey.

His story, told through the words of his wife, reveals the injustice he suffered and the strength he showed in the face of cruelty. It stands as a symbol of dignity, sacrifice, and the high cost of speaking the truth.

I will never stop seeking for justice and trying to hold those perpetrators accountable for their crimes, both in this world and the next. I will never say “Well, it is just fate, and there is nothing we can do about it.” No, I will not step aside!
