Student Tugce Albayrak was hailed as a heroine after she intervened to protect two 14-year-old girls in an altercation in a fast-food restaurant in November 2014. But her civic courage cost the 22-year-old her life when Serbian national Sanel Masovic slapped her to the ground in the restaurant carpark, causing severe head injuries. The attack was captured on a surveillance video later broadcast on national media, drawing a wave of shock and revulsion.
