Nearly 100 former British Council staff remain in hiding in Afghanistan

Staff employed to teach British values and the English language refused the right to come to the UK

Nearly 100 former British Council staff employed to teach British values and the English language remain in hiding in Afghanistan after having so far been refused the right to come to the UK by officials.

Their plight has been taken up by Joseph Seaton, the former British Council Afghanistan English manager, and its deputy director, who has written to the most relevant cabinet members in a bid to gain their support.
