HRCP condemns carnage in Kabul

May 10, 2021 12:05 PM


The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) Monday strongly condemned the brutal terrorist attack on a girls’ school in Kabul on Saturday, which cost over 60 lives—most of them, young students.

The incident is a grim reminder of the carnage wrought during the APS attack in Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2014.

HRCP statement reads, “It also underlines the perpetual threat to women in Afghanistan, in light of recent attacks targeting women. In January, two women judges were killed by unknown gunmen in an ambush. In March, three women who worked for a local Afghan radio and TV station were shot dead in Jalalabad.”

The rights body said, “It is a matter of grave concern that the number of civilians killed and injured in the prolonged armed conflict in this region has been rising instead of coming down, in violation of all humanitarian laws.”

HRCP appealed to all parties with any stake in the conflict to pledge an immediate ceasefire and enter negotiations to resolve political differences.

“International bodies too have a responsibility to monitor the human rights situation in the region and play a transparent and active role in bringing about a peaceful solution,” the statement further reads.

HRCP said it shared the grief of the victims’ families and express their deepest condolences.

Another 147 people were wounded in the attack in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighbourhood at the Girls School in Kabul, as per the international media.
