CPAN says Logar child abuse to be investigated

Child Protection Action Network (CPAC), a child rights organization, have called on Afghan judicial institutions to investigate Logar child abuse. CPAN have pressed all national and international rights organizations to put pressure on the Afghan judicial organizations to bring the culprits of child abuse to justice.

The call came followed by The Guardian report. In early November, The Guardian published a report on sexual abuse of students at schools in Logar province. According to the report, more than 500 boys were sexually assaulted in six schools of this province. A spokesman for the Logar police rejected the accusations, calling them ‘rumors’, and the provincial governor threatened to punish advocacy group for spreading ‘false news.’
