We noted the decision by the UK Ministry of Defence to open a new inquiry into the deaths among Afghan civilians in 2010-2013 that may have involved the British military - in particular, the atrocities committed against the civilian population during the NATO corps' operation to seize Taliban militants.
The White Book of facts concerning civilian deaths in Afghanistan caused by the unlawful actions of the United States and its allies, available on the Foreign Ministry website, contains information about these crimes.
London deciding to investigate the incidents after the release of a BBC documentary in July 2022 indicates that the British public is outraged by the unlawful actions of the British special task force personnel that can no longer be ignored.
We believe that the new investigation must produce specific results: the responsible British personnel will finally be exposed and held accountable while families of the victims will see justice served.
