That statement was made by Ersin Celik, Turkish activist and Sumud Flotilla participant, not The Canary. All they did was quote the source in full.
Ersin Celik was born in 1982 making him about 43 (depending on month born).
I can fully understand why he would view a small 22 year old as a little kid. She’s half his age.
You can be fully aware someone is a grown adult and at the same time pity them as just a kid, especially one being tortured by a genocidal state.
He’s old enough to be her dad. Of course she seems like a child from his perspective, if he has a child they’re likely about her age.
