She had called for an investigation into Turkey&#8217;s use of chemical weapons after seeing footage of Kurdish fighters whose symptoms could be associated with fatal poisoning by chemical substances. In the past, Prof. Korur-Fincanc\u0131, who received the 2016 Aachen Peace Prize with the Scientists for Peace, and the Turkish Medical Association have also been targets of the state. President Erdo\u011fan is now threatening to close the Medical Association.
