Ahead of Pope Francis’s Turkey Trip, John Paul II’s Attacker Removed from İznik (Nicaea)
Turkish authorities implemented a significant security measure by escorting Mehmet Ali Ağca, the man responsible for the 1981 assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II, from the ancient town of İznik (Nicaea) on Thursday. This move was a critical precaution ahead of the impending visit by Pope Francis to the country.
The security protocol was reportedly enacted to prevent any potential disruptions or security risks associated with Ağca's presence in İznik, a location holding immense historical and religious significance for Christians. İznik is notably the site of the First Council of Nicaea (325 AD).
Mehmet Ali Ağca, a Turkish national, served nineteen years in an Italian prison for shooting Pope John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square on May 13, 1981.
His current status and movements continue to be a focus for international security services whenever a high-profile figure visits Turkey.
