KABUL, Jan 09 (DNA): Scores of the families of war victims in
Afghanistan’s capital Kabul on Sunday called for justice and demanded
punishment for those behind the killings of Afghans.

With about 200 photos and portrays on display in a public park here, the
participants alleged that thousands of innocent Afghans had been killed
mostly by American military forces’ bombardments and the perpetrators
should be brought to justice.

“Among the victims’ photos, there are those who were killed by the
bombing of the American forces in Shindand districts of Herat and
Balablok of Farah in the west and parts of the eastern Kunar province
during the presence of the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan,” the organizer
of the photo exhibition Weda Ahmad told Xinhua.

Placards and banners that called for a probe into the war crimes of
America, NATO and their protégés were posted on the walls of the park,
demanding the punishment of those responsible for killing Afghans.

Weda, a women rights activist who is also the head of a non-government
agency the Association of Afghans for Justice, alleged that the U.S.
airstrikes had killed countless Afghan civilians including innocent
women and children during the 20-year U.S.-led occupation in
Afghanistan.

She told Xinhua that her association has collected more than 10,000
photos of the war victims that were killed during more than four decades
of wars, most of them by American forces operations over the past 20
years.
