UK Forces Member Alleges War Crimes in Afghanistan, Calls for Police

The UK’s Sunday Times has reported that a senior member of the UK Special Forces has provided information to the British police regarding the alleged war crimes committed by the Special Air Service (SAS) of the country.

According to the report, this British officer has informed the police of a safe containing documents related to the war crimes of the British Special Air Services in Afghanistan.

“Within the files are witness accounts from serving soldiers, emails to Number 10 warning of the crisis, as well as diaries of police investigators. The source who has not been named was responsible for the SAS’s overseas operations between 2009 and 2013.” part of the report reads.

Mohammad Asif Faqiri, a lawyer, said: "They should be punished in their country for the crimes they have committed. Their government should compensate the relatives of those who were killed."

Aziz Maaraj, a political analyst, said: "For forty to forty-five years, the Eastern and Western blocs have instigated wars in Afghanistan, all of them committing war crimes, and it is up to the legitimate and legal government of Afghanistan to recognize this and seek compensation through international courts."

Although the Islamic Emirate has not recently commented on this, the spokesman for the Islamic Emirate had previously stated that they do not believe in the partiality of these investigations and that the British Army conducts fabricated research to justify its crimes and divert public attention.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, said: "The crimes committed in Afghanistan are more extensive than what is said and started not from 2010 but from 2001 to 2020. This matter requires an impartial body and impartial investigation, as well as precise accountability. We do not believe in these processes they announce; it is an attempt to exonerate and justify the crime, and the people of Afghanistan are not confident in this process."

Some relatives of the victims of the alleged war crimes committed by foreign forces in the country are demanding compensation and justice for the victims of the war crimes of foreign forces in Afghanistan.

Janan, a resident of Uruzgan, said: "My family has been made to cry and many in our village have been martyred; we demand their trial."

Sayed Wali, another resident of Uruzgan, said: "Many innocent people have been martyred; we demand compensation and the trial of foreign forces."

The UK Special Forces are accused of committing war crimes in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013.

The British government initiated a study called "The Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan" in February 2023 to investigate these allegations.
