We demand that the Turkish president Erdogan immediately releases the Dutch columnist Ebru Umar.
She was arrested in the Turkish town of Kusadasi, apparently because of tweets she sent about the Turkish president.

This time, he went too far. Let's set the Internet on fire and receive at least 100,000 signatures. It will make an impact when we present them to "our" politicians.

Currently, she is not in prison but is not allowed to leave Turkey.

The importance of free speech and freedom of having an opinion is always a challenge to dictators ... tolerating dictators has always been a shame to a civilized society ... sometimes I wonder if we really are a civilized society !!

Dictator Erdogan moet zijn handen afhouden van (Nederlandse) columnisten En trouwens ook van alle 'Turkse' Nederlanders. (Je zal maar tot in de 3e generatie vastzitten aan zo'n staat)

"Freedom of Speech" only exists when it means "Freedom to Offend". Freedom of Speech is the reason our western civilization has become more and more just and peaceful and rich.

Free Ebru Umar NOW! This woman has the Dutch nationality and is therefore European! Erdogan wants to join Europe?????????! Freedom of speech is the right to communicate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship!!!!
