HERAT CITY (SW): Hundreds of supporters of Kamran Alizayi, head of Herat’s provincial council, have poured on streets in protest for the sentence previously passed in absentia by primary court of anti-corruption tribunal.
The protestors marched through the provincial administration office and Islamqala city which resulted in road closure for commuters on Saturday. Some of the protestors were armed. The protestors claimed that the prosecution of head of Herat’s provincial council is biased. “If the government does not respond to our demands, we will close Herat-Kandahar road too”, warned the protestors.
The protestors want the government and the Supreme Court of the country to 'fairly' decide in the case of Kamran Alizayi.
Kamran Alizayi, head of Herat’s provincial council, was present among the protestors. He said conspiracy has been hatched against him for political reasons.
Meanwhiel, Jilani Farhad, provincial governor’s spokesman, has said the Kabul government has been informed about the demands of the protestors.
Salam Watandar wished to have opinion from government and the Supreme Court on this matter, but to not avail.
