Non-refoulement is absolute & non-derogable. No exceptions allowed, no assurances from dfA can neutralize this risk. Torture remains a genuine risk in #Afghanistan. I urge the EU & its member states not to return Afghans to danger. @EU_Commission

Afghans risked their lives to help the U.S. as advisors, interpreters, and special operation forces. Turning our backs on our allies—including family members of U.S. servicemembers and hundreds of children—to send them to war-torn DRC is evil and wrong. nytimes.com/2026/04/21/world…

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

A U.S. aid worker said that the Afghans, who were evacuated to Qatar, would face a choice between moving to the Democratic Republic of Congo and living under the Taliban.

Almost 60,000 Afghans who served with the U.S. are in a third country in hopes they can come to America on an SIV visa. Basir, a former combat interpreter, is one. His story - and the SEAL trying to bring him here: abcnews.go.com/Politics/navy…

The Geneva Conventions, adopted 76 years ago today and ratified worldwide, are the backbone of international humanitarian law. They: 🔹 Protect those who are not or no longer fighting. 🔹 Save lives and reduce suffering. Even in armed conflicts, humanity must prevail.

12,000 special visas were included in the bipartisan funding bill for our Afghan allies who must flee their country. They helped us, now we must help them. Next, let’s pass the Afghan Adjustment Act and put an end to the legal limbo so many of our allies already here are facing.

We have just launched our form for #Afghans in #Pakistan who are in the US pathway & believe they should receive a letter showing as much. We will share the information collected with @StateDept & @DHSgov (depending on the pathway). Please share widely! AfghanEvac.org/missing-lette…

AI cannot replace the human and cultural awareness of professional linguists. Danger: public AI tools reuse stored data and can expose sensitive and personal information

Afghanistan: As if the massive visa challenges for former Afghan #interpreters/LECs aren’t enough, now error-riddled AI translations add another hurdle to the process. #ProtectLinguists restofworld.org/2023/ai-tran…

AI translation is jeopardizing Afghan asylum claims

Cost-cutting translations are introducing errors and putting refugees at risk.
