Canada announces readiness to accept Afghan women judges

The Canadian Foreign Ministry has announced that it will accept Afghan women judges and their families who are living in misery in Greece.

A spokesman for the ministry said yesterday that the country receives a total of 230 Afghan women judges and their families, as well as an undisclosed number of other Afghan Homosexuals identified by aid agencies.

A ministry spokesman did not give a date for their transfer, but said they were expected to arrive in Canada in 2022.

According to government statistics, after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan and the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan in August, Canada resettled 3,915 Afghans who had worked with the Canadian government and 2,535 people for humanitarian reasons.

It also announced shortly after the Taliban took control of Canada that it would accept 40,000 Afghan refugees, but has not yet set a timetable for doing so.
