WELLINGTON (AFP) – A pregnant New Zealand journalist denied re-entry to her home country to give birth due to strict Covid-19 regulations said she has been offered refuge by the Afghan Taleban.
“This just feels like such a breach of trust,” Charlotte Bellis told Radio New Zealand yesterday from Kabul.
Bellis had been working for Al Jazeera in Afghanistan, but said she didn’t realise she was pregnant until she was at the media company’s headquarters in Doha, Qatar.
