Airlift vulnerable minorities (Sikh, Hindus, ect) from Afghanistan to the UK
The UK should be immediately airlifting vunerable minorities from Afghanistan to the UK. Under Taliban rule, minority communities will be persecuted and are under the threat of genocide.
The Government should be helping these minorities as this country is the expression of free speech and equality, and these basic freedoms are not available to these minorities in Afghanistan. We should uphold our values and allow these people to seek refuge in a country that is accepting of all people.
Furthermore, there is already a large Afghan community within the UK who were granted asylum from the Taliban. We should offer these people the same opportunity to flee oppression and persecution.
