Supplementary information about Ibrahim Kaypakkaya

Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, often called Ibo for short, was the founder of the Maoist guerrilla movement in Turkey. TIKKO (Workers' and Peasants' Liberation Army of Turkey), which was founded by him, is still fighting the regime in Turkey. Ibo was wounded in a clash in 1973 in Kurdistan and his hideout was betrayed by a peasant. He was arrested and tortured, even though he had been injured. He died under torture, refusing to give away information. The regime claimed he had committed suicide.
The peasant who betrayed him was protected and hidden by the authorities, but was tracked down by TIKKO and punished with death in 2000. In Turkey, we have long memories.
