Open letter urges Boris Johnson to act on promise and evacuate Afghan journalists

The Guardian and other UK media demand action for those who have helped report from Afghanistan

UK media repeat call for evacuation of Afghan colleagues

Dear prime minister and foreign secretary,

When British media organisations wrote to you earlier this month about the grave Taliban threat to Afghan journalists and translators who had worked with us, you responded almost immediately. You recognised their vital contribution to a free press by reporting on the British mission in Afghanistan and promised colleagues at risk a path to safety. President Biden did the same in the United States.
