[2] Feleknas Uca was born in Celle, Lower Saxony, West Germany to an immigrant Yazidi family originally from southeastern Turkey.

She graduated from Comprehensive School in Celle before taking an apprenticeship as a doctor's assistant, and completed her Abitur by distance learning.

In 2005, the Democratic People's Party (DEHAP) was investigated by Turkish police for a speech given by Uca in the Kurdish language in which she called for the decrease of the electoral threshold from 10%, declare a general amnesty and suspend all military actions.

On 7 April 2015, Uca was nominated by the HDP to their electoral list for the upcoming parliamentary election as one of a number of Yazidis running for office.

[16] She supports the autonomous Government in Syrian Kurdistan led by the Democratic Union Party (PYD).

[17] She is also grateful to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) for their defense of the Yazidi against the Islamic State (IS) in Iraq.

[19] The lawsuit was filed together with a request for the HDP to be shut down due to the parties alleged organizational links with the PKK.
