Urgent Action: Embassy Must Urgently Issue Diversity Visas (USA: UA 221.17)

Yemenis who left everything behind to come to the US have been stuck in Malaysia for months because of the discriminatory Muslim and Refugee Travel Ban.

1) TAKE ACTION
Write a letter, send an email, call, fax or tweet:

Urging the US embassy in Malaysia to process the Yemeni nationals’ diversity visas to the US despite the travel restrictions in place;
