Release Sharbat Gula

Petition Details

The “Afghan Girl” who graced an iconic cover of National Geographic magazine in 1985 has been arrested in Pakistan on charges of being in the country illegally.

I call upon the UK government to ask for an immediate release of Sharbat Gula.

I request everyone to sign and share the petition.

Additional Information

Sharbat Gula was 12 years old when she was photographed by Steve McCurry in a refugee camp in Pakistan, in December 1984. The haunting image of the green-eyed girl became an international symbol of refugees and of political and social unrest in the region. It has been widely reproduced, making her one of the most recognizable non-celebrity faces of the 20th century.
