英国在重大数据泄露后秘密安置数千阿富汗人
摘要
英国政府在国防部数据泄露暴露了数千名阿富汗人的身份后，秘密将他们安置，因担忧他们在塔利班统治下的安全。此前受超级禁令保护的行动，现因法院裁决而公开承认。
英国政府在2022年初国防部数据泄露事件后，秘密将数千名阿富汗人转移到英国，该事件暴露了他们的个人信息，引发了他们可能成为塔利班目标的担忧。这次被描述为英国近代史上最严重的安全事件之一的数据泄露，促使政府启动了一项秘密安置计划，估计花费约20亿英镑（27亿美元）。
周二，一项此前阻止媒体报道该泄露事件及随后的安置计划的超级禁令被法院解除。英国国防部长约翰·希利向受影响者道歉，并在议会表示：“这起严重的数据事件本不该发生……对于所有数据被泄露的人，我表示诚挚的歉意。”
数据泄露涉及一份包含与英国政府合作并申请安置的阿富汗人详细信息的电子表格，该表格误发至政府系统外。该信息随后被发布在Facebook上，进一步增加了被识别者的风险。
希利称，约有4500名阿富汗人及其家属已通过此前未公开的计划被安置或正在前往英国的途中。然而，他表示不会因该泄露事件特别提供更多庇护，引用政府审查结果称，几乎没有证据显示塔利班有意对前官员进行报复。审查还指出，截至今年五月，已有超过1.6万人因该泄露事件被安置到英国，其中部分通过现有项目完成。
政府正面临受影响者提起的诉讼，法律代表称，受影响个人可能因所受的精神痛苦而有强有力的赔偿请求。此事件发生之际，英国关于移民和公共开支的政治辩论日益激烈。
