英国泄露秘密阿富汗安置计划后公开事件

摘要

英国政府披露了一项因重大数据泄露事件而设立的秘密阿富汗安置计划。该事件影响了数千名阿富汗申请者。该计划此前因法院禁令而保密,已使数千人抵达英国,耗资数亿英镑。

英国政府在一次重大数据泄露事件后,建立了一项秘密的阿富汗人安置计划。此次数据泄露暴露了近19,000名在塔利班接管后申请移居英国的人员的个人信息。国防部(MoD)于2023年8月发现此次泄露,实际发生于2022年2月,当时一名国防官员错误地发布了一份包含申请人姓名、联系方式及家庭详情的电子表格。

政府随后创建了阿富汗安置路线(Afghan Relocation Route),这是一项保密的安置项目,迄今已使4,500名阿富汗人抵达英国,预计还有600人及其家属将陆续抵达。此次数据泄露及安置计划的存在均被置于超级禁令之下,直到高等法院法官于周二解除该禁令。

国防大臣约翰·希利(John Healey)在议会发言,对受影响者表示“真诚的道歉”,并称此次事件是由于信息被发送至未经授权的政府系统外部,属于“严重的部门错误”。希利表示,独立审查发现“极不可能”有人仅因数据泄露而成为针对对象,并将该安置计划描述为“极其重要的干预措施”,考虑到其中的风险。该计划迄今已耗资4亿英镑,预计还需额外投入最多4.5亿英镑,目前计划正在关闭,但现有的安置承诺将继续执行。受数据泄露影响的人士已于周二获悉相关情况。
