Spies and SAS personnel among 100-plus Britons included in Afghan data leak | Defence policy
The details of SAS members are among more than 100 British British called 18,700 Afghan databases, and accidental leakage caused thousands of people to secretly move to England by a defense official.
Defense sources said that the highly sensitive document includes names of the sponsor or affiliated to some individual cases and E -Post addresses. Personal information was included in MI6 officers.
The identities of SAS and MI6 members are a close protection secret, and the fact that such information may result in public property, the possibility of an important official concern.
SAS and other Special Forces officers were involved in assessing whether the Afghans, who said that they were members of Elite 333 and 444 units, known as the triple, were allowed to come to the United Kingdom.
Defense sources said that the data set refers to a “secret route ği that Afghans could use to come to England.
This week, it was revealed that the Ministry of Defense has achieved a super junking that prevented the disclosure of the leak and a plus plan was created to carry some Afghans affected by the violation to protect the UK from the Taliban.
Superinjunction, a Supreme Court judge Mr. Justice Chamberlain’s threat to Afghan 18,700 Afghan was no longer very important Tuesday.
However, there were some restrictions that were relieved after another court hearing on Thursday. Mod said it would be possible to publish some additional explanations about the content of the database.
In a statement on Tuesday, after the unseen Superinjunction was removed, the defense secretary John Healey presented a “sincere apology on behalf of the government for data violation.
Later, Commons told the E -TABLON, the names and contact information of the applicants, and in some cases, information about the applicants’ information about the family members and the names of parliamentary members in a small number of cases, senior military officers and government officials supported the application.
“This was a serious department error,” he added.
The Intelligence and Security Committee of the Parliament (ISC), following the UK spy agencies, said that he would examine the relationship after an investigation announced by the Commons Defense Election Committee.
ISC, the Supreme Court secretly shared with all the intelligence evaluations of the committee now wanted to be shared with the committee. President Lord Beamish asked the committee that “data loss materials çalışan could not be shared with the committee early because of the routine review of the classified material.
Mod, the proposed examination “violently” said, he said. “Defense Intelligence and the Defense Secretary of the Defense Intelligence and the Defense Secretary were instructed to give full support to all parliamentary committees,” Spokeperson said.
A precautionary precautionary decision that prevented the disclosure of data violation was first taken by the conservative defense secretary Ben Wallace in August 2023, when MOD first noticed that personal information has infiltrated a Facebook group.
A judge later ordered the precautionary measure to remain confidential and turned it into a rarely used Superinjunction. Wallace’s successor Grant Shapps immediately developed a hidden displacement plan for about 15,000 Afghan, while trying to protect the Gaging order until the general elections in July 2024.
The daily mission to develop the plan was given to James Heappey, one of the Shapps deputies, to James Heappey, then the Armed Forces Minister James Heappey. On Thursday, in a social media post, Heappey said the plan was discussed in a domestic economic affairs committee of the cabinet.
He said that the committee, as ruled by legal counseling, is trying to expand the rights up to the smallest possible number of possible ”with very few resistance from other members of the government. Orum I don’t remember the violent opposition. There was a disappointed resignation because it was necessary, ”he said.
Leaked data can be reported to contain names, E -Post and phone numbers for thousands of Afghan, who apply to the British army under an existing displacement scheme designed for those who help the British army.
In some cases, the data contained more written information about the status of their cases and their applications – in fact they focused on whether they helped Britain or British forces in Afghanistan – but it did not contain addresses or photos.
The Afghans, who were affected by the violation this week, received a message from the United Kingdom Government, and English, Pashto and Dari warned that the recipient’s e -mail address was used to re -residential and some personal data may be in danger.
The details of the violation were limited, but some of the Taliban in Afghanistan, who continued to hide from the Taliban, were suggested to “receive phone calls or not respond to messages or e -mails from unknown people and limit them who can see social media profiles.
