I just love this photograph. It was taken in 1991 in Diyarbakir, Turkey. A Kurdish woman is put on trial for alleged treason but her only crime was to stand up for the rights of the Kurdish minority in Turkey.
This photograph is one of my favourites, I just love the expression she has on her face. Yet she is dressed so nicely and very feminine but it's her face that captures the essence of the photograph. Almost like it says
"Though everything is against me, I've lost everything and the storms are blowing. I will stand in the midst of it all and stay strong. I wll keep my head up."
