Five years after the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, the country remains the only place in the world where girls and women are barred from secondary and higher education.

“Finally, after all these years, I can see my family and smile together without any fear. When someone knocks on our door, I no longer fear that it could be the police coming to deport us; I know that whoever it is can't harm us anymore.”

Among the millions of Afghans being deported back to their home country are Christians whose lives are now in grave danger. SAT-7 is highlighting the stories of threatened Afghan Christians, responding to their urgent prayer requests and broadcasting special episodes about the mass deportation.

SAT-7 has received an urgent plea from a group of Afghan Christians who are facing the threat of forced return to Afghanistan from Tajikistan where they had sought refuge from danger.
