Release Sharbat Gula
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.
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.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
