Thousands of Afghans, including many who worked with British forces, have been secretly resettled in the U.K. after a leak of data on their identities raised fears that they could be targeted by the Taliban, the British government revealed Tuesday.
The government now plans to close the route, which the media had been barred by a court order from disclosing.
The then-Conservative government sought a court order barring disclosure of the leak, in an attempt to prevent the personal information being made public. The High Court issued a strict order known as a super injunction that barred anyone from revealing its existence. The government then set up a secret new program to resettle the Afghans.
The injunction was lifted on Tuesday in conjunction with a decision by Britain’s current Labour Party government to make the program public. It said an independent review had found little evidence that the leaked data would expose Afghans to a greater risk of retribution from the country’s Taliban rulers.
About 4,500 Afghans – 900 applicants and approximately 3,600 family members — have been brought to Britain under the secret program, and about 6,900 people are expected to be relocated by the time it closes, at a total cost of 850 million pounds ($1.1 billion).
About 36,000 more Afghans have been relocated to the U.K. under other resettlement routes.

They pulled that same trick in Reno. 75 people.
If they worked with British forces during the long war, the Brits have an obligation to get them out.
Nothing too secret about it.
Sort of In Your Face.
Well, you can never have too many Afghans.
The detritus of CIA and MI6 wars are no longer useful in their home countries, but they still can fill a useful role supporting bloated government, the welfare-state, and anti-white, woke social-engineering in the West.
Much of that is a scam, too.
Besides the fact Afghanistan was a 20 year cluster-dance, were there really hundreds of thousands of translators and Afghan special forces operators working with US troops?
If the west goes and destroys a country, what do they expect? Maybe lets stop bombing sh!t
The UK, Germany, France, Netherlands etc etc — all of the EU is GONE — and the subhuman, murderous, troglodyte-from-hell filth, blood-gargling muzzie(SPIT!) sewage, will own the place, in >10yrs. The USA is next.
No wonder the UK’s Deep State is freaking out about Pres. Trump’s September visit...
Northern Virginia schools are filled with Afghan immigrants.
Will they be able to keep their cultural practices too - such as old men being able to marry little 6-year old children?
They certainly will once England becomes a Muslim caliphate - given disparate birth rates and mass muslim immigration, it will happen.
And the Brits will have brought the resulting madness on themselves.
There is a dumb idea.
Almost as stupid as GWB bringing Somali to the USA.
Another result of neocon stupid “forever wars” and nation building.
+ but they never will listen because it never ends no matter who is running things.
Do stupid things. Win stupid prizes. The Western leader motto. LOL
“under a secret resettlement program”
The Biden administration has taught whoever did this well.
Besides the fact Afghanistan was a 20 year cluster-dance, were there really hundreds of thousands of translators and Afghan special forces operators working with US troops?
If we owe it to them, they should move to the US.
They're moving to the UK because the Labour Party wants more voters.
Why does an employer have an obligation to resettle and pay a former employee to another part of the world?
Same question to the US gov.
We would be a far better place if we had stayed out of every war after 1865.
