According to a report, British special forces have prevented the transfer of Afghan soldiers

The BBC Panorama program, citing new documents, reported that British special forces prevented the transfer and evacuation of Afghan soldiers who were with them in military operations after the fall of Kabul from the Taliban.

According to this report, the Afghan military units named "CF333" and "ATF444" who were present in dangerous operations alongside the British special forces, were in danger after the fall of Kabul.

But hundreds of requests from these forces to leave Afghanistan were rejected and some of them were tortured and killed by the Taliban.

The BBC published documents from internal emails from the British Ministry of Defense which show that civil servants were not able to deal with the opposition of the special forces.

Britain's Ministry of Defense said it was reviewing 2,000 applications, and the Defense Secretary acknowledged the weakness of the decision-making process.
