An independent English-language documentary on the extraordinary life and violent death of Tetsu Nakamura, a Japanese doctor who worked for years to turn a desert in war-torn Afghanistan green, is set to introduce him to a new audience while honoring his humanitarian feats.
Two former local staff at the Japanese Embassy in Kabul and their families who are currently seeking refugee status in Japan have recounted how Foreign Ministry officials sought to pressure them and other former staff to return to their homeland, warning them of the "hell" they faced if they stayed.
Around 40 percent of the 169 people who fled to Japan from Afghanistan following the Taliban s return to power in August last year have left their new home due to what they say was a lack of support from the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
Japan has helped evacuate more than 300 Afghans since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in mid-August, with about 140 currently waiting to be flown in from Qatar, Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi says.
