YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An Afghan interpreter who worked with the British military has told Sky News he feels "betrayed by the British government" after a massive data breach saw his personal details revealed.

Ali, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, had long suspected his details had been shared with the Taliban - but found out just yesterday that he was a victim of the breach three years ago.

He is now even more fearful for the lives of family members still in Afghanistan, who are already in hiding from the Taliban.
