We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to offer asylum in the UK to the Iraqis who have been working as translators and in other capacities for the UK armed forces. More details

The Iraqis who have been working for the coalition forces as translators and in other capacities are in danger from death squads which have been hunting them down. Surely we have a responsibility to attend to the well-being of these people and their families as our military presence in Iraq is reduced. Treating them as other refugees is insufficient and abandoning them is dishonourable. Denmark has set a good example by airlifting out the Iraqi employees of the Danish armed services. This is an example we should follow.
