The UK government set up a secret multibillion-pound scheme to relocate thousands of Afghans to Britain after a data leak put them at risk of reprisals from the Taliban — and gagged the media with a super-injunction.

The names, contact information and other personal details of about 25,000 Afghans, people who worked closely with the UK before the Taliban seized power and some of their family members, were accidentally disclosed by a British soldier in emails in February 2022.

The leak of the vast, highly sensitive database was not discovered until August 2023 when it was mentioned in a Facebook group. About 100,000 people were put at risk, the government estimated, when wider family members were included. It also contained email addresses belonging to UK government officials.

In response, ministers in Rishi Sunak’s former Conservative government instituted a secret scheme to bring Afghans to the UK.

The plan as recently as February this year, under Sir Keir Starmer’s current Labour administration, was to relocate 25,000 people, at a potential cost of £7bn, according to a government estimate.
