Η πρωτοπόρος υποστηρίκτρια των δικαιωμάτων των Κούρδων στη Τουρκία, Λεϊλα Ζάνα, πρώην βουλευτής. Η Ζάνα πέρασε μια δεκαετία πίσω από τα κάγκελα στην Τουρκία μετά την ομιλία της στη κουρδική γλώσσα στο τουρκικό κοινοβούλιο στην διάρκεια της ορκωμοσίας της. Ήταν η πρώτη Κούρδισσα γυναίκα που εκλέχτηκε στο τουρκικό κοινοβούλιο.
Η Λεϊλα Ζάνα που συμβολίζει κατεξοχήν το κουρδικό ζήτημα στην Τουρκία φέρεται να είναι για άλλη μια φορά υποψήφια για το βραβείο Νόμπελ Ειρήνης 2013.

The selection process is very secretive and only certain people across the globe (professors, elected government officials, Nobel laureates) can nominate an individual or organization.
Zana, who in 1995 won the European Parliament's Sakharov human rights award, and several other Kurds were elected to Turkish parliament in 1991,wbut lost their seats in 1994 after their party was outlawed for links with the PKK. Zana spent a decade behind bars in Turkey for speaking Kurdish in the Turkish Parliament after taking her parliamentary oath.
In March 2003, Zana and her co-defendants were allowed a retrial after their original conviction was condemned as unfair by the European Court of Human Rights in 2001. She was released in 2004 after Turkey's appeals court overturned her conviction.
Zana, the symbol of peaceful strife of the Kurdish people, was granted the Italian honorary nationality in Rome on October 23, 2008.
Zana received a two-year prison sentence from the Diyarbakir 6th High Criminal Court on the grounds of a speech made at the Newroz celebrations in 2007 (traditional Kurdish festival to mark the beginning of the Iranian New Year and the arrival of spring). She was sentenced for saying "The three leaders of the Kurds Jalal Talabani, Massoud Barzani and Abdullah Ocalan".
Zana stood trial once more under charges of "praising crime and criminals" based on her defence in the case mentioned above. The Diyarbakir 6th High Criminal Court acquitted the politician.
Former DEP MP Zana received a prison sentence of one year and three months based on a speech she had given at a seminar held by the School of Oriental and African Studies in London on 24 May 2008. Zana was convicted of "propaganda for an illegal organization". In her speech, she had likened the PKK and its imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan's importance to the Kurdish people to the importance the brain and heart have to humans. "They have created a new life for the Kurdish people, so that a people that used to be ashamed of its existence gained a spirit of freedom and resistance."
On 4 December 2008, Zana was sentenced to imprisonment of ten years by the Diyarbakir 5th High Criminal Court under allegations of "spreading propaganda for the PKK" in nine different speeches. The court voiced the opinion that "the defendant's activities over all reached the dimension of membership of the PKK/Kongra-Gel terror organization". The decision included Zana's deprivation of the right to vote and to be elected and several other political rights.
On July 28, 2009 Zana was sentenced to 15 months in prison for remarks upholding Kurdish PKK rebels fighting the Turkish government. On December 4, 2008 sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for praising PKK
On May 24, 2012, a Turkish court sentenced Leyla Zana to 10 years in prison in absentia for membership of an outlawed separatist group and spreading its propaganda. Leyla Zana was convicted by a judge in southeastern Diyarbakir of having violated the penal code and the anti-terror law in nine different speeches.
On November 15, 2012, Leyla Zana who symbolises the Kurdish struggle in Turkey has joined hundreds of Kurdish inmates who have been on hunger strike for two months
Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) reported earlier this year that Bradley Manning, jailed in the US on charges of handing over classified documents to Wikileaks, and Kurdish activist Leyla Zana are also among candidates for the prize. Among the nominated organizations is the international vaccine fund GAVI.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has received 259 nominations for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, breaking the record of 241 set in 2011. One of the candidates this year is also the youngest on record, after 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan was nominated for defying the Taliban and getting shot for it.
The Nobel Committee never comments on specific nominees, reporting only the total number and the breakdown of individuals and organizations. This year, according to the committee, 50 of the Peace Prize candidates are organizations.
The total number of nominations will quickly be whittled down to a short list and then cut as well to those candidates who will be seriously considered by the five-member committee that’s appointed by the Norwegian Parliament under the terms of Alfred Nobel’s will. The prize winner is usually announced on the second Friday of October (October 11 this year), and the prize is always awarded on December 10th, the anniversary of the death of prize benefactor and Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel.
