Today I beg a massive favour of support from you all as Mothers, Fathers, and families everywhere.
My Son (step son) Joe Robinson 24, ex Duke of Lancaster regiment (1 tour of Afgahnistan).
In 2015 he joined the Kurdish (YPG) in Syria fighting against ISIS, he was a combat medic who helped casualties including innocent civilian children after/during ISIS attacks.
He also reported back on events to heighten awareness in western countries.
We did not know his intentions and did not support them, however I am proud of his ability to follow his morals and Values even if sometimes they may be impulsive.
Joe was arrested by British counter terrorism unit when he returned to the UK and found not to have committed any offence.
He has made mistakes as many young men have, he has also grown and become self aware, while starting to see the world more openly. He is trying to find his way in the world by signing up to education and was wanting to become a paramedic.
Last week he was arrested in Turkey while on holiday visiting his fiancée's family, he is being held without charge for being a member of a terrorist organisation (YPG). The YPG are backed by the UK, America and western countries in fighting ISIS and are not terrorists.
Joe is our Son and we are going out of our minds with worry, that he may spend 16± years in a Turkish prison.
He is not a terrorist he is just a young man who as made bad choices.
This is not a request for judgment political or moral. This is a family begging for help to see our Son if possible and bring him home safe to us.
Money will be used for his Mother to see her son and legal fees. It is said he will have to wait up to 3 months to even be charged.
This will be a very long emotional and expensive process, any help will be appreciated more than I can express.

A family in crisis
