İbrahim Gökçek (30 September 1980 – 7 May 2020) was a musician of the Turkish revolutionary band Grup Yorum[1] in which he played the bass guitar.
[4] Gökçek was accused of being a high ranking member of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party/Front (DHKP-C)[3] and arrested on 1 May 2019 and charged with "establishing and leading an organisation".
[6] The demands of the hunger strikers were that the Turkish government end the suppression of the group, release its members from prison, and allow them to give concerts.
[10] The following day, mourners taking part in a ceremony in memory of Gökçek at an Alevi cemevi in the neighbourhood of Sultangazi were halted by the police and dispersed with teargas.
[12] Members of the ultranationalist Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) took to the streets and have threatened to unearth Ibrahim Gökçek and set his body on fire, as they view him as a terrorist.
