A man trying to escape from Afghanistan fears for his life. He asked for help from the British Foreign Office.
A British citizen and his wife were beaten by the Taliban on their way to the evacuation center from Afghanistan. This was reported on August 20 by the newspaper Independent.-
According to the injured Briton, he received an e-mail from the embassy with instructions that he must arrive at a hotel in Kabul in order to get on an evacuation flight.
At the first checkpoint, the Taliban severely beat him and his wife, ordering them to return.
“People from the Foreign Ministry tell us to go to the Baron Hotel, but there are three Taliban posts on the way to it … we showed them our documents, emails, information from the Foreign Ministry, but the Taliban attacked us because they knew we were fleeing the country. They said that there is no way for us to get to the hotel and that we must return or they will shoot, “the man said.
He also said that difficulties also arise when foreigners travel to Kabul airport, where only Americans are supposedly allowed unhindered.
