More than 700 Afghans rescued from the Taliban by Jewish lawyers in UK

The news cycle has moved and the refugees in the spotlight today came from a closer conflict to the house.

But who can forget the view of the last summer from Afghanistan who was desperate to hold fast to the jet wheel in hopes of escaping from the fanatical Islamist Taliban who had just influenced?

Encouraged by their faith and their acute awareness of the history of Holocaust, a group of Jewish lawyers not only refused to forget, they had created charity. Their goal is to save those who are still in Afghanistan who are most at risk of experiencing torture and death, promitic and prominent judges who try to help the West bring good government and prosperity to a country that is struck by war.

Incredibly, lawyer Daniel Berke and lawyer Simon Myerson, who founded Amal Azadi, said they had saved around 730 people so far, with “12 Azadi Babies” which was born since the charity body was launched.

Mr. Myerson said: “The most difficult thing is we have to make a terrible decision about who we can help.

We don’t have money to save everyone, and with everyone we help, usually come with seven or eight family members.”

Azadi – which means freedom in Pashtun – was formed when Mr Berke and Mr. Myerson met to discuss how they could help get more Afghan refugees to England.

Mr Keke has worked with another lawyer to try to help a famous Afghan female parliament member, Homa Ayubi, and a female judge, out of Afghanistan before the Taliban took full control over the country.

Berge has hoped that Mr. Myerson, as QC, can encourage a court review to force the government to allow Afghanists who have become part of the coalition project to bring Western values to their country.

Both of them quickly realized that they did not have time to take legal action – which would take months or even years – when their biggest focus was the need to bring people to the plane as quickly as possible.

Conversely, they and a group of partners, including former British armed force members, work on documents, lobbying the government and raising funds.

Initially our great concern was related to people like lawyers and judges because we all also worked in the field of law,” said Mr. Myerson, 59. “Very quickly it becomes clear how risk they are. Our country has encouraged Western values and that includes a lot of work about household harassment. Many judges in the case of domestic harassment are women.

But when the Taliban took over, they opened all prisons and suddenly all the judges were at risk; Dangerous people know their names. I made me angry because we didn’t help them.
