A former Afghan interpreter faced a revoked relocation offer to the UK after a Ministry of Defence data breach revealed his details. He, along with other families who served British troops, has had their applications for sanctuary denied by the Home Office. Now residing in Pakistan, he is in a precarious situation as he and his family must vacate their hotel in 14 days without visas, money, or alternative accommodations. Activist Rafi Hottak highlighted the seriousness of this reversal and its implications for those left behind.
A former Afghan interpreter exposed in a catastrophic Ministry of Defence (MoD) data breach has had his offer of relocation to the UK revoked despite waiting for two years in Pakistan.
The former patrol interpreter is believed to be one of several families accepted for sanctuary in the UK by the MoD due to their service alongside British troops, but who have now been rebuffed by the Home Office.
The man and his family have now been given 14 days to leave the hotel they have been staying in. They are without Pakistan visas, money, or anywhere else to go.
Rafi Hottak, a former interpreter for the British Army who now campaigns for Afghans left behind, said the reversal decision was made.
