Taliban threatening Chevening scholars’ families, says MP
Caroline Lucas warns five of those studying in Brighton feel desperate about relatives’ safety in Afghanistan
Chevening scholars from Afghanistan are receiving threatening messages from the Taliban about what they intend to do to harm their relatives back in their place of birth, according to their local MP, Caroline Lucas.
Nine of the 35 scholars evacuated from Afghanistan are due to study at the University of Sussex in Brighton, but five of those have not been allowed to bring their families to safety with them. Foreign Office rules only allowed “immediate family” such as spouses or dependent children under 18 on to the emergency evacuation flights.
