The UK Ministry of Defence has confirmed that the Special Forces Command rejected asylum requests from over 2,000 Afghan commandos who had fought alongside British forces against their fellow countrymen. These individuals provided credible documentation of their collaboration, but none of their requests were accepted by the Special Forces Command.
Reports indicate that all requests from these commandos were denied, with no evidence to suggest that even one case was approved. The Ministry of Defence declined to comment on whether any requests were accepted by the Special Forces Command.
Earlier, the previous UK government also rejected the residency applications of 2,002 elite Afghan forces, known as the “Three-Digit” commandos. Following the fall of the Republic, these commandos have been abandoned by their former allies.
