The UK Defence Committee has released the testimony of an individual who first identified the leak of Afghan veterans’ data and alerted the Ministry of Defence.
The committee announced on Friday, November 28, 2025, that “Person A,” whose identity has not been disclosed, warned British officials after the data breach but was subsequently confronted with an emergency court order prohibiting him from speaking about or confirming the issue in any form.
Person A explained that in 2021, during the fall of Kabul, he participated in assisting former Afghan security personnel and their families, initially in administrative tasks and later in processing cases across a wide network of units.
He said the breach became evident when a family under his care came across sensitive information about themselves on Facebook anonymously.
The witness added that after his initial notification to government officials, he received no immediate response, and weeks later was unexpectedly summoned to a meeting where he was presented with the emergency court order.
According to the report, members of Parliament examined how this data leak could endanger Afghans whose details appeared in the compromised files.
Person A stated that after the court order was lifted, he received more than 5,000 messages, and that all Afghan individuals affected were terrified.
The Defence Committee said its investigation is ongoing and that a public hearing to present evidence will take place on December 9.
