Taliban Deny Arresting Or Monitoring Afghans After UK Data Leak

On Thursday, the Taliban government denied arresting or monitoring Afghans named in the leak, highlighting the recent lifting of the gag order.
Following the MoD error, details emerged that exposed approximately 19,000 Afghans, prompting concern over their safety.
On Tuesday, the UK government revealed the secret Afghan Response Route evacuation, noting its cost and scope, as John Healey said around 900 Afghans and 3,600 family members have been resettled or are in transit at a cost of about £400 million.
Despite denials, The Daily Telegraph claimed tracking efforts increased, while UNAMA reported over 800 abuses.
With more than 56,000 Afghans named in the leak remaining in Afghanistan, doubts persist about their safety amid ongoing human rights concerns under Taliban policy.
