Mehmet Ali Ağca
Mehmet Ali Ağca is a Turkish assassin known for attempting to murder Pope John Paul II in 1981. He was captured shortly after the assassination attempt and served several years in an Italian prison. In a surprising turn of events, Pope John Paul II visited Ağca in prison and forgave him, a gesture that garnered significant media attention and is often cited as an example of the pope's commitment to mercy and forgiveness.
