Resumen

El gobierno del Reino Unido reubicó de manera encubierta a miles de afganos después de que una brecha de datos del Ministerio de Defensa expusiera sus identidades, lo que generó preocupaciones por su seguridad bajo el régimen talibán. La operación, previamente bajo una superinjunción, ha sido reconocida públicamente tras una decisión judicial.

El gobierno británico reubicó de manera encubierta a miles de afganos en el Reino Unido después de que una brecha de datos del Ministerio de Defensa a principios de 2022 expusiera su información personal, lo que generó temores de que pudieran ser blanco de los talibanes. La brecha, descrita como uno de los incidentes de seguridad más graves en la historia reciente británica, llevó a la creación de un esquema secreto de reubicación que se estima costó alrededor de 2 mil millones de libras (2.7 mil millones de dólares).

Un tribunal levantó el martes una superinjunción que anteriormente había impedido la cobertura mediática sobre la brecha y el programa de reubicación subsecuente. El ministro británico de Defensa, John Healey, se disculpó con los afectados, diciendo al Parlamento: «Este grave incidente de datos nunca debería haber ocurrido... a todos cuyos datos fueron comprometidos les ofrezco una sincera disculpa.»

La filtración de datos involucró una hoja de cálculo que contenía detalles de afganos que habían trabajado con el gobierno británico y solicitado reubicación, la cual fue enviada por error fuera de los sistemas gubernamentales. La información fue posteriormente publicada en Facebook, aumentando aún más el riesgo para los identificados.

Según Healey, aproximadamente 4,500 afganos y sus familiares han sido reubicados o están en camino al Reino Unido bajo el esquema previamente no divulgado. Sin embargo, afirmó que no se ofrecerá asilo adicional específicamente debido a la brecha, citando una revisión gubernamental que encontró poca evidencia de intención talibán de buscar represalias contra exfuncionarios. La revisión también señaló que más de 16,000 personas afectadas por la brecha habían sido reubicadas en el Reino Unido para mayo de este año, algunas a través de programas existentes.

El gobierno enfrenta demandas de los afectados por la brecha, con representantes legales que argumentan que los individuos afectados podrían tener fuertes reclamaciones de compensación debido al sufrimiento causado. El incidente ocurre en medio de un intenso debate político sobre inmigración y gasto público en el Reino Unido.
