How many more people will become the ‘Ghosts of Afghanistan’?
Canada so far has accepted only 10,000 of the 40,000 refugees it promised to let in from Afghanistan.
But worse still, there are different rules for journalists, women’s rights leaders and other activists who have no ties to Canada. A lot of good that does to people like Bismillah trapped in some jail or female judges and women’s rights campaigners hiding far away from homes, fearful of arrest – or worse.
“In Afghanistan, just living is taking a chance,” Bismillah told me when I met him in Kandahar back in 2019. “When you leave home in the morning, you’re never sure if you’ll return alive.”
