Former immigration secretary Robert Jenrick twice refused to help an Afghan lawyer who is being hunted by the Taliban over her work supporting the UK government, openDemocracy can reveal.
Earlier this year, Naailah*, who worked alongside the UK to prosecute Taliban members for corruption, told openDemocracy that the Home Office had rejected her family’s applications to its Afghan resettlement schemes.
Now, her husband has gone missing after the Taliban discovered his whereabouts, just weeks after the Home Office said their application was not “urgent”.
