Summary
Updated 2026-06-24

İbrahim Kaypakkaya was a Turkish Maoist revolutionary who founded the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist-Leninist (TKP/ML) and started the Maoist insurgency in Turkey. He is revered by many today as a symbol of resistance and as an aggregator of the ideas of other major leaders and thinkers in Marxism–Leninism and Maoism. Kaypakkaya was captured after being wounded in an engagement with the Turkish military in Tunceli Province in 1973, and executed in Diyarbakır Prison four months later.
