Operation Lifeline: The Urgent 30-Day Mission to Save Lives in Afghanistan

Introduction

The resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan has put countless lives at risk, including human rights activists Zarif and Farid. These brave individuals not only stand for justice and equality but also represent 38 pre-screened families who are in immediate danger. “Redeem the Oppressed,” an organization committed to saving lives, is on a critical 30-day mission to rescue these individuals and their families. This article aims to shed light on their plight and how you can help.

Meet the Activists: Zarif and Farid

Zarif: A Beacon in Kabul

Zarif has been a voice for the oppressed for over a decade. His life is now in grave danger due to his activism against the Taliban regime. Zarif represents a group of families who have been pre-screened and are known to be in immediate danger.

Farid: A Decade of Dedication and a Key Role in Governance

Farid has spent the past decade advocating for human rights, women’s empowerment, and social justice. He also served as a senior protocol officer for the former President of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani. Farid has been living in hiding for over two years, constantly changing his location to escape the Taliban’s grasp. He leads a group of families, each with a member targeted by the Taliban for their pro-West affiliations and activism.

The Urgent 30-Day Mission

Both Zarif and Farid are currently being extracted to another country on a 30-day visa to apply for asylum. The urgency to raise adequate funds to support them during this period is critical. If their asylum applications fail, the funds will be used to fly them to a third location that offers visa-upon-arrival.

The Future: Grassroots Movement for Reform

Once Farid and Zarif find stability, they plan to lead a grassroots movement for reform in Afghanistan. Their leadership will be instrumental in the rescue of the remaining families and others in dire need.

The Lifeline Sponsorship Program

“Redeem the Oppressed” has initiated the Lifeline Sponsorship Program, offering a unique opportunity for donors to make a significant impact. For a donation of $7,000, you can cover the cost of a 2-year work visa, a flight out of Afghanistan, and two months of living expenses for a head-of-household. This donation can literally be the difference between life and death.

How Every Dollar Makes a Difference

Your donation can have a profound impact:
– $25 can contribute to emergency supplies for those in hiding.
– $100 can help cover the cost of necessary legal documentation.
– $500 can contribute to transportation costs for one person to reach a safer location within Afghanistan.
– $1,000 can help cover the cost of a flight out of Afghanistan for one person.
– $2,800 can pay for a 2-year work Visa in a safe country.

How You Can Help Beyond Donating

It’s not just about donating. You can make a difference by sharing our campaign, advocating on social media, volunteering, organizing fundraising events, or contacting local leaders. Every action counts.

Testimonials, Stories and More Details

In a recent 20-minute interview featuring Farid and leadership members from “Redeem the Oppressed,” the urgency of the situation was highlighted. Farid himself stated, “If the Taliban catches up to me, they will kill me.”
