The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) said that 22 civilians were killed, and 126 others were injured in two separate explosions in Ghor over the weekend and called for a reduction in violence.
The Oct. 18 suicide car bombing near the Department of Women’s Affairs, the Department of Martyrs and Disabled and the Ghor Police Headquarters in Firozkoh, claimed the lives of 16 civilians and injured 125 others, including four women and 31 children.
Homes, shops and vehicles were also destroyed in the vicinity.
Another roadside blast on Oct. 17, occurred when a bus carrying civilians collided with a bomb in the Firozkoh area. Six civilians, including two women and two children, were killed and another was injured in the blast, according to AIHRC.
The rights commission, expressing sorrow over the escalation of violence in the country, called the attacks a “a clear violation of international laws of war and international humanitarian law.”
The continuation of these attacks, in addition to inflicting civilian casualties, also undermines the ongoing peace process and pose a serious challenge to the reconciliation process.
They called on Afghan security establishments to do their utmost to protect the citizens and punish the perpetrators.
The AIHRC also called on the Taliban to reduce violence “as promised” and to stop killing innocent people, and to agree to a nationwide ceasefire.
