Afghan warlords with ties to the Taliban are allegedly exploiting a UK government website to track down and detain their opponents, according to shocking reports. The revelation has sparked outrage and calls for immediate action to protect those at risk.
How the System is Being Abused
The warlords are said to be using the website, which was designed to assist Afghans seeking refuge in the UK, to gather information on individuals who have opposed their regime. Once identified, these individuals are then targeted for arrest or worse.
Government Response Under Scrutiny
The British government has faced criticism for its handling of the situation, with accusations that it has failed to safeguard sensitive data. A spokesperson stated that they are "urgently reviewing" the security measures in place but provided no further details.
Human Rights Concerns
Human rights organisations have condemned the exploitation of the system, warning that it puts countless lives in danger. "This is a blatant misuse of a platform meant to help, not harm," said one activist.
As the situation unfolds, many are calling for stricter controls and greater transparency to prevent further abuse.
