This phase relates to evidence the Inquiry has heard from individuals who have approached the Inquiry directly.
Evidence as part of this phase was heard in closed session and has undergone a review process prior to publication. This process is necessary to protect sensitive information, including matters relating to national security and the safety of individuals.
Publication of evidence should not be interpreted as a finding of fact by the Inquiry, or as an endorsement of a witness’ account. The Inquiry is continuing to gather and test evidence from a range of witnesses and sources before reaching any conclusions.
If you think you have any information that may prove useful to the Inquiry, you can get in contact directly using the secure methods detailed on our website.
Everyone reading these evidence summaries and redacted materials should, however, pay careful regard to the terms of the Restriction Order that the Chair has made in respect of this set of hearings and this evidence.
It should be noted that:
1.The Chair granted all of the witnesses who gave evidence in this set of hearings anonymity from the public (and including the Afghan Families and their representatives). They should be referred to by a cipher and should not be named.
2.The Chair ordered the restriction of other material from publication or dissemination where it could lead to the identification of any witness or other member of UKSF, or would be damaging to National Security.
3.The Order lasts indefinitely, unless and until revoked or varied by further Order.
The Restriction Order prevents the press and public from publishing the names of the ciphered witnesses, or any other identifying details that are not in the published evidence from the Inquiry. It is also important that there is no speculation about the identities of the individuals in question and for the Press and those on social media to report this evidence responsibly. As set out in the Restriction Order, the High Court and Court of Session have the power to imprison or fine for any breach of a Restriction Order.
