A major government u-turn on 1 February meant many Afghan special forces who served alongside the British will have their cases re-examined after initially being denied entry to the UK.
Also known as “The Triples”, they were elite units that were set up, funded, and run by the British, but many of them were denied helped under the UK’s Afghan Assistant and Relocation Policy (ARAP).
After Kabul fell to the Taliban, hundreds went into hiding, fending for themselves and hunted by the Taliban. At least six are known to have been murdered, although the real total is thought to be far higher.
Newsnight’s Joe Inwood has been speaking to some of the Triples about what this means for them.
