Interpreter pleads for Canada’s help to evacuate Afghanistan
Description
September 6, 2021
Calls continue for the federal government to expedite its efforts to evacuate more Canadians and Afghans who supported Canada out of Afghanistan. It was two weeks ago when Global News first learned about language assistant "John" and his desperate situation in Afghanistan. Since then, there has been some movement on his file, but as Christa Dao reports, those invested in getting him out say time is quickly running out.
