After a TV forum, at which she declared that covered dressing in Islam (Hijab) is not obligatory, Bahriye Üçok received increasingly threats from the militant organization "Islamic Movement" ((トルコ語:İslami Hareket)). Not a long time later, on October 6, 1990, she was killed by a mail bomb as she was trying to open a book package in front of her house door. The assassination remained unsolved. She was laid to rest at the Karşıyaka Cemetery in Ankara. Gülay Calap, known as the "parcel-girl" who had accepted the packet for delivery, disappeared for a long period after the assassination. On January 16, 1994 she was arrested in İzmir as the İzmir responsible of the Revolutionary People's Party, an organization that is aligned with the PKK. The court sentenced her to prison for 22 years and 6 months, where she stayed for 12 years. Calap joined the DTP in 2007 and became its vice president in November 2007.〔(Hürriyet newspaper )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bahriye Üçok」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
