Deniz Gezmiş
Deniz Gezmiş was a prominent figure in the Turkish left-wing movement during the late 1960s, known for his role as a leader of student protests against the government and U.S. involvement in Vietnam. He became a symbol of resistance after being arrested and sentenced to death for his revolutionary activities, which included advocating for armed struggle. His execution in 1972 made him a martyr for many in Turkey, and he remains a significant historical figure in discussions about political activism and youth movements.
