Wounded in a bomb attack launched by ISIS in Turkey’s Kurdish-majority Diyarbakır 7 years ago, Lisa Çalan, making a speech in Kurdish, dedicated the award to the deceased and wounded in the massacres on June 5, in Suruç and Ankara.

Having lost her legs in an ISIS attack and dismissed from trustee-appointed Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality, Lisa Çalan says, “They first dismissed me, then requested my defense. They have dismissed me in an accelerated procedure.”
