Ebru Firat has been condemned to 5 years of prison in Turkey for having joined the Kurdish Freedom Fighters to fight AGAINST Isis/Daech (taking part in the heroic liberation of Kobane). As I explained in this previous post, the Turkish Islamo-Fascist state alleged that she was preparing a suicide attack in Istambul... and detained her when she was about to take a flight back to Toulouse!!! Fucking Turkish bullshit...
She is in prison waiting for a revision of her case. As you can imagine treatement in Turkish prisons to Kurdish prisoners is horrible, she has already lost 15 kgs and we can just hope that se won't have to go through the tortures that many other Kurdish prisoners have undergone. The French consul has repeatedly seen rejected the permission to visit her. Local and regional government in Toulouse/Occitanie are trying to help, having sent a letter to the French minister of Foreign Affairs demanding immediate action. There is a petition in change.org also addressed to him.
It's not easy to help, but the first step is making her case known to everyone and everywhere. You can share this url (as there is quite little information in English), or share these links in French:
- Soutien National à Ebru Firat
- Liberte pour Ebru Firat
- Petition in change.org
- Letter in Le Monde
- Video
You can also do an economic contribution to support her defense here. There are countless Kurdish men and women in her situation in cErdogan's nightmare state (journalists, HDP members, activists...) but she is a French citizen, so if public pressure forces the French government to take the issue seriously she could have some options.
Heroes enjoy freedom in eternity
