Woman stuck in Afghanistan fears for her life

From Morning Report, 7:27 am on 26 October 2021

Immigration officers admit that for three years they've held onto the passport of a woman now stuck in Afghanistan fearing for her life.

The woman is appealing to the Government for help on humanitarian grounds but it has turned her down.

Phil Pennington reports.

RNZ requested a response from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, but she passed the matter on to Immigration Minister Kris Faafoi, who had not responded as of late Monday.
