Afghanistan Independent Country Expert Witness UK

Afghanistan asylum claims have intensified since the Taliban takeover in August 2021. Key profiles include former Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and government employees, women's rights activists, Hazara and other ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, journalists, and those associated with Western organisations.

Country conditions change rapidly under Taliban governance. Independent experts must cite the most current primary sources and assess profile-specific risk at the date of the report. Tribunals scrutinise whether experts have relied on pre-2021 analysis without addressing current Taliban policies on education, employment, and minority rights.

Afghanistan Country Expert provides specialist Afghanistan asylum profiles, regional analysis, and CPIN guidance for UK immigration solicitors.
