Afghans exposed in data breach ‘at risk of being radicalised in the UK’ as Home Office urged to investigate threat

The Afghans who have been released to security in the UK are at risk of radicalization, because they may be disappointed with their new lives in the UK, and warned a disaster data leakage of the Ministry of Data.

Paul Rimmer’s study warned that rival pressures on the British housing system and wider public services mean that there is a “increasing gap between life expectations and reality in the UK for the Afghans who have settled here.

Former Deputy Director of Defense Intelligence, who directed the government’s review to data violation, called on the Ministry of Interior to more research the risk of radicalization and said that Afghanistan has become a basis for a wide variety of terrorist groups ”.

In accordance with their plans to evacuate the Afghans affected by the violation of the UK, the ministers approved a plan that predicted that ten percent of refugees could be homeless.

Those brought to the UK are in the temporary accommodation nine months ago, which is expected to find their own homes in most cases. The investigation found that many of them might have no place to live in the long run.

The findings appeared in a new version shared with media parties in the Superinjunction case, after leaning and sharing a special version of the report by lawyers.

Mr. Rimmer said that experts, including NGOs who evidence for the examination and independent case workers, were concerned about the risk of re -establishing Afghans ”.

“The fact that a gap between the expectations of the re -established Afghans and the fact that more stretched domestic services can perform,” he said.

Some experts also emphasized concerns that Afghanistan has become a basis for a wide variety of terrorist groups ”and asked Mr. Rimmer to call the home office to the“ more detailed ”research.

Last week, the names and contact information of 18,700 Afghan, who applied to move to the UK via security fears, were exposed to catastrophic mode data leakage. The violation took place in February 2022, a member of the Armed Forces, when he sent a secret database to reliable persons with an e -mail.

The Gaf, which was only discovered in August 2023, caused about 16,000 Afghan to move to England as part of a secret operation over the fears they will be targeted by the Taliban.

The operation was announced last Tuesday after the removal of an unprecedented super junking that banned the details of the leak after about two years of confidentiality.

It was the study of Mr. Rimmer, who concluded that Taliban’s identification in the data set was not the only reasons for targeting while retaliation against the former Afghan security forces.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on Monday that the deputies said that they were “quite uncomfortable” about Superinjunction, which continued when the ministers discovered their existence in 2024.

Sir Keir said to the liaison committee: “This was a shocking heritage, violation, precautionary measure and a secret plan. Many of us have arranged the examination to ask the question, is it necessary for these arrangements to be still in place?”

When asked why this opinion lasted for a year, Sir Keir replied: “It was a very complex study … I wanted the investigation to be as careful as possible. This was a risk assessment that holds people’s lives.”

The Prime Minister’s comments emerge as a report that accompanies the policy examination, and more than 1,300 Afghan has remained homeless and emergency housing assistance has been provided by councils since July 2023. More than 100 families have lived in temporary accommodation such as B&BS and Hotel since April this year.

In accordance with the Afghan re -settlement program, which covers public and secret re -settlements for the government to come to England, it was estimated that about 10 percent of Afghans were homeless.

Authorities estimated that it would be about 730 people a year, but the government’s review said it was “extreme optimistic, because Afghan families are overly dependent on finding their own rental accommodation.

The ministers are now closed the secret Arr program, but will honor the sacred invitations already sent and two public Afghan will continue to commit cases in the re -settlement plan.

A government spokesman said that all arrival should be subject to solid security checks, including national security.

The authority also added that the government is working with the local authorities to meet the needs of the British population and the needs of the Afghans who re -established here ”.
