Taliban refuses to arrest or monitor Afghans after the ongoing data leak in Great Britain

The Taliban government said on Thursday that it had not arrested or monitored the Afghans, which had been involved in a secret British resettlement plan after a data violation was unveiled this week.

The British government announced thousands of Afghans who worked with the United Kingdom with their families in a secret program after a data injury from 2022 endangered their lives.

The program was only announced after the British Supreme Court had lifted a Super GAG closure in which reports were banned on events.

The British Minister of Defense John Healey said that due to the risk that the Taliban authorities would endanger the data set and the life of Afghans, not announced.

“Nobody was arrested for his earlier actions, nobody was killed and nobody is being monitored,” said the Afghan government's deputy spokesman, Hamdullah Fitrate, to reporters on Thursday. “Reports on the investigation and monitoring of some people whose data are leaked are wrong.”

After the Taliban returned to power in 2021, its top guide Hibatullah Akhundzada announced an amnesty for Afghans who worked back abroad during the two-down conflict for the NATO forces or the repressed government.

“All of your information and documents are available here in the Ministry of Defense, in the Ministry of the Interior and the secret service [agency] “Fitrate added.” We do not have to use the leaked documents from Great Britain. “

He said that “rumors” were spread to create fear among Afghans and their families.

Around 900 Afghans and 3,600 family members have now been brought to Great Britain or as part of the program known as Afghan reaction route at a price of around £ 400 million ($ 535 million), said Healey.

They are part of around 36,000 Afghans who have accepted the UK of Kabul in various systems since autumn in August 2021.

Tens of thousands of Afghans fled to Afghanistan in a chaotic one -week evacuation when the Taliban gained its uprising after the mass withdrawal of international troops and air support for the country.

Tens of thousands of others were relocated under European and US asylum schemes, which have almost brought themselves to a standstill after four years.

The UN aid mission in Afghanistan (Unama) said in 2023 that there were credible reports on serious human rights violations of the Taliban authorities against hundreds of former government officials and former forces.

From the takeover of Afghanistan to the Taliban on August 15, 2021 to June 30, 2023, Unama documented at least 800 cases of out of court killing, arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and ill -treatment and enforced disappearance, according to a report.

The Foreign Ministry of the Taliban denied the allegations and said that all former employees had been pardoned.

The Taliban government has imposed a serious interpretation of Islamic law, in which women and girls are prohibited by most education and workplaces.
