Call For Assistance to Help Secure the Release of Elizabeth Tsurkov Who Has Been Held Captive in Iraq for 6 Months

Elizabeth is a doctoral student at Princeton University. Her research focuses on human rights and sectarianism in the Middle East. One of Elizabeth’s remarkable qualities was her fluency in Arabic. She supported Palestinian and Muslim communities, and she is …
