Hundreds of Syrian students in the UK could be days away from being sent back home to face detention, torture, and possibly execution, unless we persuade the government to help them!



The Syrian conflict has left 670 students across the country without funding and now they’re threatened with expulsion back to Syria -- where Assad’s brutal regime may arrest, torture or kill them if they're suspected of supporting the revolution there. But if we join hands with the students now, we can get our ministers to offer them a lifeline, as they did with Libyan students two years ago.



They’re caught in a trap -- with no government support at home or abroad, these students are moments away from deportation. Every minute counts -- sign the petition calling on Foreign Secretary Rt. Hon. William Hague and Minister for Business, Innovation and Skills - Vince Cable to intervene so they can remain in the UK, then share widely.
