Thousands of Afghans relocated to UK under secret scheme after data breach

A secret scheme relocating thousands of Afghans to the UK was established after a major data breach leaked the personal information of nearly 19,000 individuals seeking to move to the UK post-Taliban rule. The scheme, costing £400m so far, has seen 4,500 Afghans resettled in the UK with more to come. The breach revealed names, contact information, and potential anti-Taliban individuals, prompting a covert relocation effort that has now been disclosed following a court ruling lifting the secrecy around the program.
