Taliban Deny Arresting Or Monitoring Afghans After UK Data Leak

  • UK Defence Minister John Healey mentioned that around 900 Afghans and 3,600 family members were brought to the UK under the Afghan Response Route, costing approximately $535 million.
  • The UK government revealed that thousands of Afghans who worked with Britain were resettled after a 2022 data leak endangered their lives, costing approximately $535 million for around 4,500 Afghans and their families.
