Will not prosecute those who worked with UK armed forces: Taliban

Moscow, July 18 (UNI) Taliban will not prosecute Afghans who collaborated with the British military, and whose data was exposed as a result of a leak, Hamdullah Fitrat, the deputy spokesman of the interim Afghan government, said.
UK Defense Secretary John Healey acknowledged for the first time on July 15 regarding the existence of a resettlement program for thousands of Afghans who collaborated with the British army. In 2022, the data of almost 19,000 Afghans who applied for participation in the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) was leaked. Taking into account their family members, the leak put about 100,000 Afghans at risk.
"The Supreme Leader's decree on amnesty guarantees security for everyone, and no one is or will be prosecuted for past actions ... There is no need for the intelligence services of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to monitor those who have been granted amnesty," Fitrat said.
