The three claimants in these proceedings assert that they provided intelligence to British Forces in the years leading up to the beginning of 2013. Each suggests that as a result of his engagement with British Forces he is now at risk in Afghanistan from retributive attacks from the Taleban. The claimants have been granted anonymity in these proceedings and access to the court papers has been restricted to reduce the risk that their identities and whereabouts might be discovered.
This is their urgent application for interim relief against the defendants. The interim relief sought until the trial of this matter is as follows:-
‘Pending the determination of this claim, the Defendant do take all steps necessary to provide the Claimants with secure accommodation in Afghanistan and associated living expenses.’
