Home Office pauses removal of Kabul embassy Gurkhas
A group of Nepalese security guards who worked at the British embassy in Kabul have been told their threatened removal from the UK has been paused.
Some of the men had already been given an indefinite right to live in the UK by the Home Office - which earlier denied that it was removing anyone with that status.A total of 13 Nepalese military veterans had been employed guarding the high-security compound housing the UK and Canadian embassies in Kabul.
A lawyer for some of the group, Jamie Bell of Duncan Lewis Solicitors, said after the u-turn that he was "delighted for our clients that there won't be pending removal". Mr Bell said the case raised further questions about the scheme set up following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
