The Ministry of Defence in Britain has described the claims for compensation as “hispotetic”, and has stressed to the BBC that it will strongly replace “” against any indictments or requests for compensation.
The great flow of information occurred in February 2022, where the names and records of over 19 thousand Afghans were exposed. Many of them already feel endangered and targeted by Taliban vengeance.
In spite of that, an independent review, known as the Rimmer review, has concluded that there is not enough evidence that only inclusion on that list would result in target by the Taliban.
This has prompted the Ministry to provide neither minor compensation nor to pave the way for any legal responsibility.
Meanwhile, the Barings Law law firm is preparing a major collective indictment, where it says there are more than 1,000 Afghan clients. How many are currently in Afghanistan and how many have managed to escape are still unknown.
British Defence Secretary John Healey has announced this week the removal of a super-order court, which earlier made it illegal to mention the very existence of this data leak case./Periscopi/
