KABUL (SW) – The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission has expressed grim concerns over surge in cases of target assassinations.
In a statement, the AIHRC said in these ‘deadliest war tactics’ the international humanitarian rights are undermined that serves as shield for civilians during armed conflicts.
“Horrific & worrying trend of targeted attacks. Activists, religious scholars, human rights defenders, politicians r being targeted. There is urgent need for investigation & accountability, including for today’s tragic attack that took the life of Dr Amin, scholar & activist”, tweeted The commission has urged the Afghan government to identify perpetrators of such attacks and bring them to justice.
In a latest incident of the sort, Mir Abdulbaqi Amin, head of the scientific council of the Ministry of Education, was killed in a blast in Kabul on Wednesday morning. Last month,
