Afghanistan's first female pilot is seeking asylum in the U.S. after receiving death threats from the Taliban and members of her own family.
在接到塔利班和家人成员的死亡威胁后,阿富汗首位女飞行员向美国寻求庇护。
Capt. Niloofar Rahmani came to the U.S. in 2015 to train with the U.S. Air Force. That training ended earlier this week, but Rahmani says she's too afraid for her life to go back.
拉赫马尼上尉于2015年来美国参加空军训练。训练本周早些时候结束,但赫马尼说,她很担心自己的生活不敢回去。
Rahmani was 10 years old when the U.S. removed the Taliban from power in 2001. At 18, she enlisted in Afghanistan's air force and became a bit of a celebrity when she earned her wings in 2013.
美国2001年推翻塔利班政权时拉赫马尼10岁。18岁时她在阿富汗空军服役,2013年在飞行中就小有名气。
That's when the threats began. In an interview, Rahmani said members of the Taliban had threatened to kill her and members of her family. She also said distant relatives had threatened the same.
这就是威胁开始。在一次采访中,拉赫马尼说,塔利班成员曾威胁要杀了她和她的家人。她还说远亲同样发出威胁。
Rahmani says that if she's granted asylum she'll continue flying, either for the U.S. or as a commercial pilot.
拉赫马尼表示,如果她获得庇护将会继续飞行,无论是为美国政府,还是作为一名商业飞行员。
