Sister of Canadian military adviser fears looming deportation, Taliban reprisal

OTTAWA - The sister of a man who worked as an interpreter for the Canadian Armed Forces during the war in Afghanistan says she fears she will be deported back to her former home, where she could face violent reprisal at the hands of the Taliban.

The mother of six and her children escaped the war-torn country by fleeing to Turkey in 2018 — too early to qualify for a special temporary program that helped bring family members of military language and cultural advisers to Canada.
