FREE SHILAN OZCELIK NOW!

The Issue

A young Kurdish woman by the name of Shilan Ozcelik has been jailed by the UK Govt for wanting to join Kurdish forces in Syria fighting ISIS. We demand you release her now. She is a hero not a criminal! She wanted to go to Syria to fight ISIS so would have joined YPG, which is a legal organisation. The British Govt should be ashamed of itself and this can only be seen as an action designed to placate NATO member Turkey who evidently supports ISIS war against the Kurds in Syria. The difference between the UK Govt's policies to ISIS in Syria and Turkey's are becoming increasingly similar! We must SPEAK OUT!
