Kurdish campaigners call on Everton striker to be punished for alleged fascist salute
Cenk Tosun, Everton

CENK TOSUN’S apparent fascist salute has been slammed by Kurdish campaigners, who have called on Everton and the Football Association to take urgent action.

Tosun thought he had scored a late winner against Rotherham and celebrated with his arms in the air, while his left hand made a wolf hand gesture.

The salutation is linked to the right-wing group the Grey Wolves and Peace in Kurdistan have demanded the striker is punished.
