A Destructive defense data breech exposed the details of thousands of Afghans seeking shelter in Britain Was kept secret for about two years Under an unprecedented superinity, Independent Has been revealed.
leakWhich took place in February 2022 compromised on sensitive information about applicants for the MOD ARAP rehabilitation scheme – a program for Afghans who supported British forces and now feared Taliban vengeance.
Officials initiated a top-migrant response, operating operations operations, resulting in a secret withdrawal of more than 16,000 people in the UK. The government was ready to move to a total of 42,000 at an estimated cost of £ 7BN.
Extraordinary cover-up means many people were kept in darkness within MPs, public and even whitehalls.
A court fight Under the leadership of Independent And other media finally overturned the superinjunction this week, raising serious questions about transparency, accountability and treatment of those who put their lives at risk for Britain.
Readers’ reactions have been rapid and harmful, touching moral responsibility, government privacy, institutional disability and human cost of this violation.
Many people achieved similarities with previous scams, while others demanded result and immediate improvement.
What did you say here:
Britain has a moral responsibility
This is an expensive program, it is true, but the problem is very large. The whole thing had become a bungalow from the beginning – remember that Dominic Rab was staying on his leave in Crete while Kabul was being evacuated? And the nature of leakage is just incredible.
Arabions have spread over this cost, many years, there is a strict need for somewhere else, but with Gurkhas, Britain has a moral responsibility.

(i) ‘Priority of Ukrainian National’ and (ii) ‘The main reasons for civil servants’ arrangements for civil servants “were the main reasons for months-long consular waiting for visa and passport processing in 2022 and 2023.
I wonder whether this massive evacuation from Afghanistan contributed to that stress, or whether it was all managed by a separate -and -covered department. Either way, secret or not, every resource has its own limit, right?
Sometimes the truth can emerge more independently and transparent!

Many are still in danger
It is expected that the labor government will quickly pursue the process of getting security. It has exceeded a year, but many are still in danger.
The government needs to ensure that 10 percent of the withdrawal is not homeless, as He suggested that the case could be In October 2024.

A national shame
The way we treated these people, who helped us in great risk, it is a matter of national shame.

Corruption or tableau?
Hmmm … So the security of Britain is at risk than the government and the mod! Well, I am not surprised to one. And it goes for cover-up and lies to gradual governments! See the post office and horizon, blood contamination story. Is it corruption or a hut?

Has the person been dismissed?
My first question is: Is the person sending an email to violate secrecy as well as prosecute the country for a cost of some £ 400 meters?
If not, then why not?

An idea for Afghan women
It was a chaotic tori mess-up, as traditional.
Against the scale of the issue, this moral UK response is small. A idea for 450k Afghan refugee women was forcibly withdrawn from Iran and Pakistan from January 2025, who is immediately criminalized to travel alone under a medieval rule, where women and girls have less than livestock.

Scandal after scam
Can the UK government run anything?
Scam after the scam after the scam. Billions of billions of p ***** on the wall. A small bridge in a London Park, £ 36 million?

Let’s have an expensive public inquiry
Wow-a government cover-up. This is surprising.
Let’s do an expensive public inquiry on the cost of American taxpayers that will last for the next five years, the lesson will be learned, stating familiar results …
Once he gets out of the way, we can promote ‘guilty’ persons in the House of Lords.

A gate-out clause
A “superinjunction” is originally a gate-out clause for autocratic governments (or in the case of Britain, stale ruling class).

Keep the public in darkness
The British establishment is how ironic that so many of the public interest invests heavy efforts in keeping the public in darkness – and still unable to protect sensitive data when life really depends on it.

How?
Such data should never leave a safe government server. Is it being emailed to random people on Earth and posted on Facebook?
And how do you do “unknowingly shared”?

Disability must result in consequences
There should be such a large -scale disability results; Otherwise, it sends wrong messages. It says: Don’t worry about being hardworking, what you like, it does not matter.

Shameful
As the data breech was not enough, the fact that this person is still employed in another department in MOD is absolutely embarrassing.

Only in the public sector of Britain …
Where can anyone else be in the public sector of Britain, which can risk people’s lives and cost £ 400m to solve it, yet keep your job and your pension?
If there is a better depiction that we are disappointed by our public sector, I can’t think about it.
These days, our public sector is the shelter of people who should not let loose with broom, allow sensitive matters alone.

We fail to protect those we risk
Bloody tableau. We should offer the sanctuary for those who were at risk just because their former employers were – modes. While news and politics are all about ‘illegal immigrants’, we fail to protect those we risk. Embarrassing.
