The revolutionary Sakine Cansız (Sara) was shot dead in Paris on 9 January 2013 together with Fidan Doğan (Rojbîn) and Leyla Şaylemez (Ronahî) by a contract killer of the Turkish secret service MIT. She was one of two women who participated in the 1978 founding congress of the PKK and is considered a pioneer of the Kurdish women's movement. Her biography, written in the 1990s at the suggestion of Abdullah Öcalan, was revised after her death and was published by Mesopotamian Publishing House, now banned in Germany, first in the original Turkish language version and later in the German edition.
