CLI stands in solidarity with Red T and our global community urging governments and Justin Trudeau to step up and protect civilian interpreters

Critical Link stands with Red T and our partners in solidarity. Support our civilian interpreters!!

USA: President Donald J. Trump: “I know there are concerns about why we did not begin evacuating Afghan civilians sooner. Part of the answer is some of the Afghans did not want to leave earlier, still hopeful for their country.” FALSE. In 10+ years of advocacy, not 1 interpreter wanted to stay.

USA: Red T’s Maya Hess counters President Donald J. Trump’s assertion that Afghan allies didn’t want to leave: “In my 10+ years advocating on this issue, I have yet to encounter an Afghan #interpreter who wants to remain in his country.” Scott Bixby @WHCOS Secretary Antony Blinken thedailybeast.com/mad-kabul-scra…

Critical Link stands in continued solidarity with our partners Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh so the right thing. Late is better than never.
