We followed each other on X. I saw him once or twice in my life. He had a bar in Taksim for a while, and I visited the bar and met him there. Our politics were never on the same page, and I eventually distanced myself from the radical politics he practiced. He lived a life marked by detentions and prison, always seen as a ‘usual suspect’ by the system. His unwavering commitment to justice in a difficult public landscape will long inspire those searching for a fairer, more open tomorrow.haberler+2
