Offer asylum to Afghan citizens who worked with UK forces

Closed 239 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK Government should offer asylum to Afghan citizens, including interpreters, who worked with UK forces, and their families. These people are genuinely in need of asylum. They and their families are in danger if the Taliban find them, and this country owes them a debt.
