Prioritise vulnerable Afghan minorities for UK refugee resettlement programme
These minorities including Hazaras, Sikhs and Hindus are at particular risk from the Taliban onslaught.
The Taliban have already targeted and massacred members of the Hazara minority. This group is at most risk as the victim of ethnic cleansing.
The government must prioritise at risk minorities for the UK refugee resettlement programme. We must take as many Afghan minorities as possible.
