The Horrifying Story Of What Is Happening To Former US Interpreters In Afghanistan
Vice News
The series says 80% of Afghans who formerly interpreted for U.S. troops are unable to acquire a visa to come to the United States. It details their life-threatening concerns in Afghanistan.
"Interpreters have become a very big target of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda," Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Illinois.) told Reason.com. "There's been a lot of beheadings of people that have worked with the West."
With the U.S. planning to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2016, many of these vulnerable interpreters may be left on their own. Even those who do receive visas to come to America, with the promise of three months rent, furniture, and employment, are often neglected, CBS News reports.
