“The international law has some rules for war and peace. One of the rules ... is to protect civilians,” said Farah Mustafavi, a human rights defender.

“Whenever the government takes irresponsible actions, it causes the people to act coldly toward the government,” said Ghulam Sakhi Ihsani, a university instructor.
