Afghan interpreters beg Jacinda Ardern to grant New Zealand visas to ‘at risk’ families

A group of about 20 former interpreters who worked for New Zealand have been gathering outside parliament in a bid to talk to the PM

A group of former Afghan interpreters are frustrated and disappointed their requests to New Zealand's government to resettle their family members, who are at risk from the Taliban, are going unanswered.

About 20 members from the Afghan Veteran Interpreters Association gathered outside parliament for the second day in a row on Tuesday, in a desperate attempt to speak to the prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, or immigration minister Kris Faafoi about their plight.
