Avaaz in jail! 24 hours to act!
Avaaz staffer Özlem was arrested in Turkey and is being held without charges -- let's free her! Turkey just arrested Özlem , an Avaaz staffer! She's just one person caught up in a crackdown on civil society, but to us she's so much more. If we make Özlem famous with a massive petition and media campaign, she'll be more trouble than she's worth for a government in political crisis. Add your name to the urgent petition and let's set her free: Dear friends, Turkey just arrested Avaaz staff member Özlem! Let's set her free. Özlem's being held without charges after attending a meeting of human rights defenders. To the Turkish government, she's just one person caught up in a crackdown on civil society. But if we build a massive international petition and use the media to make Özlem famous, she'll be more trouble than she's worth for a government in political crisis. Our petition will be delivered to the EU foreign minister ah
