Philanthropist #MelekIpek, who was arrested and taken to prison within the Turkey’s brutal purge despite being sick and elderly:
“Even the French who occupied Maraş did not harm women and children or confiscate private properties. Despite everything, we must act and repel evil with goodness.”
Melek Ipek, 78-year-old mother of exiled Turkish business tycoon Akın İpek, has been in prison since November 9 on terrorism charges over alleged links to the faith-based Gülen movement.
