The group comprises seven female and three male judges. The flights bringing their families to Brazil came from Turkey, North Macedonia, and Greece.
The embassies in Islamabad, Tehran, Moscow, Ankara, Doha, and Abu Dhabi will be licensed to process visa requests for humanitarian shelter. Brazil does not have an embassy or a consulate in Afghanistan.
The head of the National Association of Federal Judges of Brazil (Ajufe), Eduardo Fernandes, the Afghan magistrates “are in danger for carrying out the duty and also having tried and condemned members of the regime that resumed control of the country.”
