Duncan Lewis Investigates Legal Action over MoD Afghan Data Breach (18 July 2025)
Date: 18/07/2025
Duncan Lewis Solicitors is currently investigating potential legal action on behalf of individuals affected by the Ministry of Defence’s data breach involving Afghan nationals who supported the UK’s mission in Afghanistan.
The breach—concerning the personal details of applicants to the ARAP and ACRS schemes—has raised urgent concerns about the safety of those still in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries, as well as the legal responsibilities owed to them by the UK government.
Anyone affected by the breach, including individuals worried about their own or family members’ safety, is urged to contact the award-winning Public Law team at Duncan Lewis Solicitors to seek legal advice.
Contact public law director Bahar Ata via email at BaharA@duncanlewis.com or via telephone on 020 7014 7398.
