İbrahim Kaypakkaya (1949 – May 18, 1973) was a Turkish communist revolutionary who founded the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist-Leninist (TKP/ML). He upheld the line of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, fought against revisionism, and supported the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.[1][2]
İbrahim was captured by Turkish authorities in January 1973 after a military confrontation during a military crackdown brought upon by the Turkish government's "Military memorandum of 1971". He was brutally tortured in the notorious Diyarbakir prison. At only 24 years old, he was executed by a shot through the head.[3]
