London | The UK government set up a secret multibillion-dollar scheme to relocate thousands of Afghans to Britain after a data leak put them at risk of reprisals from the Taliban – and gagged the media with a super-injunction.
The names, contact information and other personal details of about 25,000 Afghans, people who worked closely with the UK before the Taliban seized power and some of their family members, were accidentally disclosed by a British soldier in emails in February 2022.
