HAZARA
INTERNATIONAL FORUM STRONGLY CONDEMNS TARGETED KILLINGS OF
HAZARAS IN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN.
Hazara
International Forum strongly condemns unprovoked assault on
property and life of Hazaras in various areas of Kabul,
Afghanistan. The unfortunate incident, happening on 13th
August, 2010 in different areas of West Kabul, has engulfed
lives of over 25 innocent Hazaras who fell victim to
indiscriminate firing of the Pashtun cum Taliban Nomads in
perpetual attack. The Pashtun Nomads were helped by Afghan
National Army and the Local Police who neglected their
professional responsibilities of protecting lives and property
of citizens but spared no time in opening fire at people
protesting against ferocious attack of the Pashtun Nomads.
HIF
is deeply saddened of irreparable loss of human lives and
condoles with the aggrieved families. HIF Central Chairman, Agha
Marzooq Ali has called an emergency meeting of the Central
Committee on Sunday, (15-08-2010) at its headquarters to chalk
out a pragmatic plan to take up this grievous issue with the UN,
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and European Union. A
delegation of Afghan Hazaras have also requested to meet the HIF
Chairman and its members the same day to raise a concrete voice
against brutalities and atrocities of the Pashtun Nomads who are
being supported by the Taliban and local leaders to attack
innocent Hazaras in Afghanistan.
