Image of sheet 19900970 photo 6: Ayse Nur Zarakolu war Verlegerin in Istanbul, Türkei, 1990. Ayse Nur Zarakolu ist im Alter von 55 Jahren am 28. Januar 2002 in Istanbul gestorben. Die 'Mutter Courage des türkischen Verlagswesens' Zarakolu musste sich in der Türkei immer wieder in Staatssicherheitsprozessen für Projekte ihres kleinen 1977 gegründeten Belge-Verlags verantworten. Sie hat zahlreiche Publikationen zu Menschenrechtsfragen sowie Bücher von griechischen, armenischen, kurdischen, jüdischen und türkischen Autoren veröffentlicht. Ayşe Nur Zarakolu (née Sarısözen) (9 May 1946 – 28 January 2002) was a Turkish author, publisher and human rights advocate. She was co-founder, with her husband Ragıp Zarakolu, of notable Turkish publishing house Belge and in the 1980s became the director of book-distribution company Cemmay, the first woman in the nation to hold such a position. Zarakolu's publications brought her into frequent conflict with Turkish censorship laws; in 1997, the New York Times identified Zarakolu as "[o]ne of the most relentless challengers to Turkey's press laws". Issues Zarakolu helped publicize in Turkey include the Armenian Genocide and human rights of Kurdish people in Turkey. Imprisoned multiple times for her publications, she was designated a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International, and her legacy continued to face legal challenge in Turkey after her death. She has received multiple awards and honors for her work, and the Human Rights Association of Turkey (Turkish: İnsan Hakları Derneği İHD) bestows the Ayşe Zarakolu Freedom of Thought prize in her honor.
