From Breitbart: The British government earmarked £7 billion to secretly import and house tens of thousands of Afghans under the cover of a remarkable ‘superinjunction’ that could have meant prison for anyone revealing the covert operation.
Nearly 24,000 Afghans were secretly flown to the United Kingdom over the past two years and have been housed on military bases or in hotels at vast expense to the British taxpayer, the government finally admitted on Tuesday. Called Operation Rubific, it was covered up by a unique injunction that would hold any public discussion of the mission as contempt of court.
Even discussing the fact the injunction existed and protected otherwise unknown secret information was made a contempt matter too, potentially inviting jail time for transgressions, in what is called a ‘superinjunction’. While by their nature these are deeply secretive, this is the first time a superinjunction is known to have been taken out by the British government against the media.
The thousands were secretly flown to Britain because their identities as collaborators with Western forces were revealed in a massive data leak that was thought to have potentially handed the Taliban — who took over Afghanistan after the botched withdrawal during the President Joe Biden era — a “kill list”.
The bombshell story was first reported by The Times, a UK publication.
