Zeynep Kınacı was 24 years old when she blew herself up near Turkish soldiers who were singing the Turkish national anthem, killing around ten soldiers while wounding over thirty, on 30 June 1996 in the center of Dersim. With her action, the trained nurse, whose nom de guerre was "Zîlan", set a beacon for the Kurdish freedom movement, especially the women's movement.

Kurds in Lavrio organized a commemoration event to pay tribute to Zilan on the 27th anniversary of her martyrdom.

The event in the Lavrio Camp was organized by the Democratic Kurdish Cultural Center in Athens and the Kurdish Revolutionary Movement (Tevgera Ciwanên Şoreşger, TCŞ).

The event hosted a screening and poem performance, which concluded with the slogan "Şehîd Namirin" (Martyrs are immortal).
