Mohammad Alam Alam Izedyar, the deputy speaker of Afghanistan’s Senate, and the families of victims at two attacks in 2017, today accused the government of politically meddling with the investigation of the two incidents, and of "suppressing" the court cases of suspects. Izedyar accused the government of trying to have the accused "acquited."

The Rastakhez Taghir (Resurrection of Change) movement organized a protest in 2017, two days after a truck bombing in Zanbaq Square near the German embassy in Kabul-- the most secure and heavily-guarded area in Kabul--left scores of people dead and wounded.

During a protest that followed at Zanbaq square in downtown Kabul near the Presidential Palace, six people, including Izedyar’s son, were killed.

At a funeral ceremony for Izedyar's son, three explosions and at least 20 people were killed. Senior political leaders including Abdullah attended the event.
