YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRiots are feared to break out across Britain after it emerged that the government prevented the public from learning about an Afghan resettlement scheme set up following a catastrophic Ministry of Defence data breach.
An unprecedented superinjunction was used by the government to suppress information about the breach, which exposed the personal details of thousands of Afghans who had worked with UK forces.
The breach, which happened under the previous Conservative government, involved the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) - a scheme designed to offer sanctuary in the UK to Afghans who supported British military operations during the 20-year war in Afghanistan.
Between 80,000 and 100,000 people, including family members of the ARAP applicants, were affected by the breach and could be at risk of harassment, torture or death if the Taliban obtained their data, judges said in June 2024.
Tom Swarbrick is joined by former Ambassador to Afghanistan Sir Nicholas Kay and social integration expert Rakib Ehsan to discuss.
