For months now the Kayrans have been active members of TCAR, and have stood alongside other families under threat. Now they need you help. There is fresh evidence for their case, and their solicitor has applied to the court to halt their deportation to allow time for a further review. You can help to buy time for the family to get a further review of their case by faxing or phoning Turkish Airlines and asking them to refuse to carry the family (you can use the model fax attached or write your own). The airline will tell you it's not up to them, but there are numerous grounds for the airline to legally refuse to carry the family, including the medical condition of Zeynep and the distress the deportation will cause to the Kayrans and to other passengers on the flight.
