Reported Civilian Deaths in Behsud to be Probed
The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) on Sunday said it will assess reports of civilian deaths in clashes in the Behsud district in Maidan Wardak province that erupted during a protest in the district on Friday.
“Our probe is underway. There are claims about harm to civilians. We are collecting information. We hope to find the reality and share it with the people,” said Zabihullah Farhang, a media official of the commission.
The Interior Ministry said the protestors were resisting new appointments at the police headquarters in the district.
Behsud residents said that at least 40 people were killed and wounded in the incident, but the Interior Ministry said that nine people were killed. The ministry said that a probe team has been assigned and will travel to the province. But the trip of the team was delayed on Sunday.
