Hundreds protested and demanded the public prosecution of the murders of the victims killed during Communist regime period, in Kabul city today.
The protest started this morning from the Shahe Do Shamshera ziarat area. They raised slogans such as ‘war criminals and demolishers of our country should be publicly prosecuted’, while heading towards Zarnigar park.
Engineer Hafizullah Rasikh, the political and organizational representative of the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan told PAN that they are protesting because thousands of intellectuals were killed during the Communist regime of Khalq and Parcham and a list of their names had been released recently.
The Attorney General of Holland released the names of 5000 Afghans who were killed during the Communist regime from 1978-1979 (1357-1358). The Dutch government released the list based on the claims of an Afghan asylum-seeker named Amanullah in Holland.
Amanullah sought asylum in Holland in 1993 and for his acceptance, he confessed that he had been the head investigator in AGSA (intelligence bureau during Soviet intervention) and had tortured and killed many Afghans there.
Rasikh said that this trend has continue till today and hundreds have been killed by the Taliban.
He added, “These murderers should be arrested and prosecuted publicly.”
