Afghan Data Leak: Theo Burges writes for The Guardian

Theo Burges was invited by The Guardian to write an opinion piece examining the UK government’s superinjunction in relation to an Afghan database leak.

In the piece, Theo reflects on:

– How the use of this superinjunction marks a shift in the government’s ability to limit scrutiny
– Notes that the judicial deference to the State on national security matters can be problematic
– Highlights how this unprecedented injunction was maintained long after its original purpose had arguably been met
– Whether the state is being fully transparent with the judiciary and whether such sweeping powers should remain unchecked if their continuation hinges solely on the government’s evolving opinion
