Uğur Mumcu was a Turkish investigative journalist for the daily Cumhuriyet. He was assassinated by a bomb placed in his car outside his home.

Mumcu's motto, "A journalist must be a trustworthy person," continues to be a key tenet for future journalists in faculties of communication across Turkey.

Defining journalism as the "medium of talking about struggles in all areas of life," Mumcu was widely-respected for his credibility and work.

Known for his work on corruption allegations, illegal organizations and their connections, Mumcu had the confidence to say: "You couldn't deny any topic I researched and wrote until yesterday morning. So, hit me, tear me apart."Born in the central Kirsehir province, Mumcu was 51 when he was assassinated by a bomb placed in his car on Jan. 24, 1993.

a poem by IGNAZIO BUTTITTA

Arrivaru li navi
Tanti navi a Palermu
Li pirati sbarcaru
Cu li facci di nfernu
N'arrubbaru lu suli, lu suli
Arristammu allu scuru, chi scuru
Sicilia (chianci)

Tuttu l'oru all'aranci
Li pirati arrubbaru
Li campagni spugghiati
Cu la neggia lassaru
N'arrubbaru lu suli, lu suli
Arristammu allu scuru, chi scuru
Sicilia (chianci)

Li culura a lu mari
Arrubbaru chi dannu!
Su mpazzuti li pisci
Chi lamentu chi fannu
N'arrubbaru lu suli, lu suli
Arristammu allu scuru, chi scuru
Sicilia (chianci)
