Petition Action

Offer asylum to all Afghans who have worked for UK organisations

Petition Details

Extend the ARAP (Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy) to all those living in Afghanistan who have worked for UK organisations (including NGOs and businesses, as well as the UK government), including those hired through contractors.

Additional Information

Every Afghan perceived to have ties with the UK is in danger of reprisals now that the Taliban have taken over.

The UK government has recently made a u-turn over embassy guards hired through an international security firm, but this u-turn only seems to apply to those guards, rather than employees of UK organisations in general.

Other countries have already taken such steps: for example, the US has widened its Refugee Admissions Program to include employees of US NGOs.
