Konca Kuris (1960–1998)[1] was a 38 year old Turkish feminist whose body was found in Konya, Turkey on the 20th of July 1999 after having disappeared in 1998. She was a former member of the Turkish Hizbollah but denounced it and criticised dogmatic interpretations of the Koran. A video tape of her torture was allegedly found. The Turkish Hizbollah claimed responsibility for her abduction, torture and death with a statement "Konca Kuris, an advocate of secularism and an enemy of Islam, is kidnapped and interrogated by Hizbollah fighters. She has led to confusion and poisoned the Muslims with her ideas. This is why she deserved death."
