Former SBS Pashto journalist Torpekai Amarkhel was on a processing list for Australian asylum when she died

SBS Pashto Executive Producer Abdullah Alikhil says he remains “sad and traumatised” after receiving news that a former contributor to the language service, Torpekai Amarkhel, was among 72 people who perished when their fishing boat sank off Italy’s southern coast.
