Grant immediate asylum to Mohammad Gulab and his family

Created by J.N. on January 15, 2015

We petition the government to immediately grant asylum to Mohammad Gulab. Gulab was the Afghan national who saved Marcus Lutrell from the Taliban in the Kunar province in Northeastern Afghanistan. On June 28th, 2005 Lutrell's team of SEALs were ambushed. Lutrell was found by Gulab by a waterfall near his village. He immediately took Lutrell in under the code of Pashtunwali, an ancient code of honor that mandates Pashtuns shelter & protect someone in need. Gulab & his village stood against the Taliban until American units could reach the remote village and rescue Lutrell. Since, Gulab has been targeted by the Taliban along with his family. He has had to go into hiding just to keep them alive. This man is a hero & should be treated as such. He was there for our man. We should do the same.
