Murat Elmurat
Informatics Engineer
Gaziantep
Summary
I worked for several years in civil society organizations, where I gained experience in many fields. I worked for more than five years in the administrative department and human resources management, and also worked for more than three years in project and program management. Because I was detained in Sednaya prison for three years, where I remained forcibly disappeared for a year, I have worked voluntarily since my release from prison to help the families of detainees and forcibly disappeared persons, and I founded the Sednaya Prison Detainees and Missing Persons Association with a group of survivors.
I currently reside in Turkey and have obtained Turkish citizenship. I have no objection to traveling for work, whether to northern Syria or the European Union.
I have good relations with Syrian organizations and associations that work in the field of detainees and forcibly disappeared persons.
