A Canadian resident is urgently appealing to federal authorities to expedite his mother’s refugee sponsorship case as Tajikistan intensifies deportations of Afghan nationals. The 57-year-old woman, who survived a brutal Taliban attack that left her with multiple fractures, now faces potential deportation back to Afghanistan, where her life remains in danger.

Canadian officials stated they are “deeply concerned” and working with international organizations to protect refugees destined for resettlement in Canada.
