At least 24 civilians were killed and 43 others were wounded between May 27-29 as the result of airstrikes, mortar shells, and operations launched by different groups and individuals, the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) said.
These civilians were killed in seven different incidents happened in Sar e Pul, Helmand, Parwan, Nangarhar, Kapisa, and Kabul-Herat highway, said a statement published by AIHRC today on June 01.
Five women and seven children were among those killed and 11 children are among those wounded.
The AIHRC condemned the attacks and called for an immediate action to stop targeting civilians, training centers and public infrastructures.
“The perpetrators will be held accountable for their actions at any time and under any circumstances,” the AIHRC said.
The Commission called on UN and the international community to uphold human rights and use all available means and methods to establish a permanent ceasefire and resolve issues through negotiation.
“We all have a legal and moral responsibility to defend and protect the human rights of Afghan people,” the Commission said.
