Baghlan Police Accused of Killing Boy and Girl

26 Nov, 2013
Written By Rafi Sediqi

Local Police officers in Baghlan killed a young boy and a girl who ran away from home on Saturday night, according to local reports.

Members of the Provincial Council told TOLOnews that the two ran away from their homes in the Dahan-e-Ghori District, but were stopped at a police checkpoint. There, they were forced out of a car, beaten and executed by officers.

There were no details provided regarding the number of officers involved, or their identities.

"The Baghlan incident is so shocking," Provincial Council member Nida Kaihani said. "Local police forced to youth out of their car, and they held court at the police check post. Those involved in the incident should be prosecuted."

The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) has condemned the incident and has urged government officials to do something about the incident.

"Actually, this is a serious concern for the Human Rights Commission," AIHRC Commissioner Qadria Yazdanparast said. "And we ask the government to take legal action and not ignore the rule of law."

Baghlan Police Chief Gen. Aminullah Amarkhil has assured that action would be taken against the officers if they are found responsible.

"The incident is against the law and whoever is responsible will be convicted," he said.
