Today's courageous truth teller - Hasan Balikçi (Hasan Baliki)
Exposing corruption in Turkish state electric company.
An electrical engineer for the state-owned company, Turkey Electric Distribution A.S. (TEDAS), Balikçi was murdered in October 2002. Balikçi was responsible for rooting out those responsible for stealing billions of dollars from this important national utility. However, his revelations about corruption by businessmen and officials cost him his life. His death not only led to a huge public outcry and increased awareness about corruption in the energy sector; it also prompted the strengthening of laws regulating corrupt activities in this sector.
