When did translation become a deadly business?

[Adina Baya]

Dear friends from the translation and interpretation industry,

It is with great concern that we at Lingo24 have watched recent stories about the persecution, torture and even assassination of Iraqi interpreters working for the British troops.

As directly involved in the industry, we decided it’s time we do more than just watch.

This is why we invite all our collaborators and friends to support our online petition asking British authorities to take a more active stance for the protection of their interpreters.

Show your concern for the human rights of interpreters in Iraq by signing our online petition!


Thank you,
The Lingo24 Team
