200 UK-trained Afghan soldiers in Pakistan face deportation
Nearly 200 Afghan security forces trained by the British military are at risk of being deported from Pakistan and returned to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, the BBC reports.
This statistic, prepared by a network of former Afghan army forces, shows the gravity of the situation that a former British general called "treason" and "shame" of the UK.
These soldiers fled to Pakistan after the fall of the Afghan government, and now they are in danger due to the policy of the Pakistani government to deport Afghan refugees.
Britain claims it has brought thousands of Afghans to a safe zone.
However, General Richard Barons, who served in the British Army in Afghanistan for more than 12 years, told the BBC that Britain's failure to transfer these Afghan soldiers is "shameful" because it shows Britain as an "incompetent" country or subject to "double standards."
He complained: "None of these are acceptable. This is a betrayal, and the people who served alongside us will pay for this betrayal, and now they must either die or spend their lives in prison."
