1 month agoDespite ongoing Taliban threats, the U.S. is ending some protections for Afghans
Afghans in the U.S. are facing sudden termination of their temporary protective status, creating fear and uncertainty.
A catastrophic Ministry of Defence data breach that exposed the details of thousands of Afghans seeking refuge in the UK was kept secret for nearly two years under an unprecedented superinjunction. The leak, which occurred in February 2022, compromised sensitive information about applicants to the MoD's Arap resettlement scheme, a programme for Afghans who had supported British forces and now feared Taliban reprisals.
