Thousands of Afghans have been relocated to the UKunder a secret government scheme following a data leak.
Personal information about more than 33,000 Afghans seeking relocation to the UK after the Taliban takeover was released in error by a defence official. Fears that the individuals named would be at risk from reprisals from the Taliban led the last government to set up a secret relocation scheme, theAfghanistanResponse Route (ARR), involving 20,000 people.
The secret scheme, which can only now be reported after a High Court judge lifted a superinjunction on Tuesday, was first obtained by the MoD in August 2023.
The scheme is closing down but the government has said it will honour any outstanding offers. Have you been affected by the MoD leak? Have you arrived in the UK under the ARR? We will not publish your response without contacting you first.
We would like to hear from any Afghans who have arrived in the UK under the ARR scheme or are due to come.
