91 Iraqi translators who were working for the British forces in Iraq have been effectively abandoned by British forces after the British Home office refused a request from senior British Army officers to relax asylum regulations and make special arrangements for Iraqis whose services to the British Army have put their lives at risk when the British flee Iraq.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4In the last two months all Danish and Iraqui personnel who aided in interpretation during
the beginnings of the illegal war on Iraq were pulled out of the regions and transported
to Denmark where they have achieved politcal asylum and full citizenship. The Danish
Government ordered the evacuation. The Brits apparently lack the ability to define the
kind of trouble that interpreters and their families have faced working for foreign powers.
The majority of the interpreters were Iraquis.Will add in link.
