A former interpreter who is stuck in Afghanistan has filed legal action against the Home Office over his rejection from the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme.

The interpreter, who the PA news agency is not naming, claims he was accepted on to the scheme by the Ministry of Defence after working for both the British and U.S. forces between 2011 and 2016.
