A data leak revealed personal details of Afghans who served as interpreters for UK and coalition forces, igniting fear for their safety. One interpreter, Azizullah, expressed deep concern for his family in Turkey, as they await relocation under UK’s Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy. He fears the consequences of the leak on their emotional and physical wellbeing. The article emphasizes the imminent danger these individuals face, including threats of being hunted or killed, and underscores the responsibility of the UK government in ensuring their safety and lives.
Finding that the UK government had accidentally leaked the names and details of people like me, Afghans who had worked with British forces, who had trusted them, and who are now living in fear because of that trust.
My family has already lived through enough trauma. If I tell them what's happened, I'm terrified of what it will do to them, not just emotionally, but physically.
We are not talking about hypothetical risk. We are talking about people being hunted, arrested, tortured, killed. And it's happening now.
Let me be clear: it is only the UK government's responsibility to save them. This is their mistake. They owe us our lives.
