Ryan and his family have spent staring at the same four walls of their tight and rare hotel room in the last 271 days. Pakistan,
They were found eligible for sanctuary UK Due to his father’s pre -service with the British special Forces Nine months ago – but they are still waiting, for fear of their long -term security, to bring to Britain.
On Tuesday, along with thousands of others, they received an email from the Ministry of Defense Due to data loss in 2022, “Some personal data related to this email address can be compromised”.
As he types the family application reference numbers in the government’s checking system, a bright red warning sign alerted him that he was influenced by the huge Afghan data leaks, which had seen the names and contact information of 18,700 people with a link to British forces. “In error” is being shared.
Horrific violation Afghan applications The MOD’s rehabilitation plan was inadvertently shared by a member of the armed forces, potentially 100,000 people were put at risk of reprimanding the Taliban.
Learning that the leak had put his family at risk, “there was a terrible experience”, he said that he said Independent. The Taliban had already burnt his family’s house and arrested some family members due to the previous role of his father.
Now he is desperate to know the answer to an important question – when will he be brought to security?
The need to leave Pakistan is a pressure. He said that three months ago the family was arrested by the Pakistani police and was taken to a deportation center, fearing that he would once again face his fate at the hands of the Taliban.
Speaking to his hotel in Islamabad, which is being used by the UK government for the sanctuary for the sanctuary in Britain, he said: “We have seen that 24 families go to Britain from Pakistan, but our family is waiting here. Our visa deadline is over, and at least three times the Pakistani police have tried to catch us.
“Once they arrested all our families and took us to a deportation center in Pakistan. It was around 10 am ago.
“We were inside our rooms and the manager told us that he was asking about our visa. I showed him our permission from the British High Commission in Pakistan and he said that it was unacceptable.”
Ryan said he and his family were then taken to a deportation center, where he was threatened with the next day to be sent back to Afghanistan.
Fortunately, he was able to pay a police officer to use his phone and after several attempts, was able to get through his Cassworker, who could confirm his eligibility to be there.
“After about 30 hours, a diplomat came from the British High Commission and was allowed,” he said.
Overall, 16 members of his family are now sharing three hotel rooms as they wait for transfer. Two infants were born at a time when they have spent Limbo in Pakistan, one is now four months old and the other is now seven months old.
Each room has only one bed, he said, which means that the rest of the family are forced to sleep on the mattress on the floor.
After there is no money and after being lost in the fire, they had to rely on the kindness of others.
“When our children were born, we asked our Cassworker if they could help them in some supply. We told them that our house was burnt by the Taliban and we had no money. The weather in Pakistan was really cold and we had no money to buy things for our child.
“Unfortunately, we had to go to other Afghan families who helped some clothes for our daughter. They were of a large size, but we had no other option”.
When he first received an email from the Mode’s Afghan Cassworker team on Tuesday, he hoped that the family would finally be brought into security. But that was wrong.
“At the moment, we are afraid of email from the UK, we fear that they will reject us. I saw some data released. The second email said we could check if our data was dissolved.
“When I examined it, I found that our data was connected. It was really a terrible experience. I think there is a ball like a ball in a football pitch in which everyone was kicking us from one side to the other”.
And yet there is no end for the family, which now face a constant stimulated waiting to find out when they can come to the UK.
The Ministry of Defense has been contacted for comments.
