Military translator, 30, who helped US soldiers in Afghanistan is beheaded by the Taliban sparking new alarm for the interpreters left as the West withdraws
2021-07-24
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Sohail Pardis is reported to have been beheaded at a Taliban checkpoint outside Kabul

  • Mr Pardis, 30, father of a nine-year-old daughter, had worked as an interpreter

  • He had applied to be relocated to America but was rejected and case dismissed

  • He was rejected because he had been dismissed having been terminated in 2012 after failing a routine lie detector test

  • Hundreds of other Afghan translators who had their contracts terminated for what they say was as unjust cause are not eligible for the visas
