Afghan translator 32 daily mail

You're likely referring to the article published in the Daily Mail on August 17, 2021, titled "Afghan translator who helped save British lives is left stranded in Kabul after being denied a visa to enter the UK".

The article tells the story of a 32-year-old Afghan translator, named Shahid, who worked with the British military in Helmand Province during the war. Shahid risked his life to help British soldiers, including providing crucial intelligence and interpreting, and was awarded the British Empire Medal for his bravery.

However, despite his heroic efforts, Shahid was denied a visa to enter the UK, leaving him stranded in Kabul as the Taliban took control of the city. The article highlights the plight of many Afghan interpreters who worked with Western forces and are now facing persecution and danger due to their association with the foreign military.

The article quotes Shahid as saying: "I feel like I've been abandoned. I did everything I was asked to do, and now I'm being left behind. I'm scared for my life and the lives of my family."

The article also mentions that the UK government has a scheme to relocate Afghan interpreters who worked with British forces, but Shahid's application was rejected due to a lack of evidence of his work with the British military.

The story has sparked widespread outrage and calls for the UK government to reconsider its decision and provide safe passage to Shahid and other Afghan interpreters who risked their lives to support British forces.
