The UK has secretly relocated approximately 4,500 Afghans to Britain or is in the process of doing so, according to Defence Minister John Healey. The program, details of which were leaked, aimed to provide refuge for individuals deemed at risk following the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan. The government has not released specific information about the criteria used for selection or the nature of the threats faced by those evacuated, citing security concerns. The revelation comes amid ongoing debate about the UK's responsibility to Afghan nationals who assisted British forces during the conflict.
