Afghan journalists stranded abroad are facing deteriorating conditions due to prolonged delays in processing Brazilian humanitarian visas, warns the Afghanistan Media Support Organization (AMSO). Many fled Afghanistan after facing severe security threats, and now risk deportation from host countries while awaiting relocation.

• The AMSO cited a lack of clear visa timelines and administrative bottlenecks causing mental and physical hardship for the journalists.
• The AMSO urged Brazilian authorities to expedite visa processing and provide regular updates.
• Displaced journalists remain in precarious situations in neighboring countries like Pakistan and Iran.
