My last suitcase: life in exile

BBC World Service - The Fifth Floor, My last suitcase: life in exile

Two journalists from Afghanistan and Russia share their experience of living in exile

Shazia Haya fled Afghanistan when the Taliban took over in 2021 and Nina Nazarova left Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.

What's the price journalists pay for telling the truth? For many it's exile. We'll hear from two colleagues, TV presenter Shazia Haya from BBC Pashto and Nina Nazarova from BBC Russian, both living and working in exile.

Produced by Alice Gioia and Caroline Ferguson.
