Refugee reunited with family after 10 years – Zaki's Story

No Description

Zaki fled his native Afghanistan in 2011 after his family was accused by the Taliban of aiding foreign forces. Faced with death threats, he left his family and became a fugitive.

After a long and perilous journey in search of a safe country to call home, he finally made it to Australia; but he was not welcome. Australia's cruel refugee policy meant he lived in limbo for years. He was unable to become a permanent resident, living on temporary visas and unable to bring his family to Australia.

After 10 years of tireless campaigning alongside Amnesty International, Zaki helped get rid of the temporary visas that were holding him back. Most importantly, now that he is a permanent resident, he has been able to keep his family safe.
