(MENAFN) On Monday, a number of Turkish non-governmental organizations (NGO) urged the international community to do something to free women and children detained in Syrian jails.
They met at a conference titled "Till the last woman and child is freed" held to mark Human Rights Day.
Talking at the event, Bulent Yildirim, chairman of Humanitarian Relief Organization (IHH), stated they would arrange mass protests by the end of January to draw public attention to the problem.
He affirmed, "This shame is a disgrace to Muslim countries. The Ummah should not oppress anyone regardless of their religion, language or race. Women and children should not be used as a bargaining tool in wars".
