Clerics: Defacing Tombstones of Siawash Is Against Islamic Law

After some of the tombstones of the former TOLOnews presenter Yama Siawash and the Central Bank's press advisor were damaged, several religious clerics said that this is against Islamic law.

"Destroying the grave or kicking the grave is not allowed according to Sharia. Those who do such things must be punished by the government,” said Sangin Qaderi, a religious cleric.

In the meantime, Kabul residents asked the current government to hand over the perpetrators of this event to justice.

“Why are the perpetrators not arrested? We did not get the reason. It's not just this tomb, but all the tombs have been destroyed,” said Muqeem, a resident of Kabul.

“Whoever did this should be punished, the destruction of the tombs of people who served their country through their profession should be respected,” said Esmayel, another resident of Kabul.

The tombstones of Yama Siawash were damaged two nights ago by unidentified individuals.

The Islamic Emirate's spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said that they will follow up with this event and will bring the perpetrators to justice.

"We take serious measures to avoid this. No one is allowed to destroy someone's grave. Afghanistan is a country with people of different ideologies, and we see it in Kabul in the provinces, but no one is allowed to harm their graves. They are the graves of the dead, may Allah forgive them, and disrespecting someone's grave will be severely punished. Our security agencies are notified and have started the investigation,” Mujahid said.

Yama Siawash, who worked as media adviser of the Central Bank and was a former TOLOnews’ presenter, Hamdullah Anas, the deputy head of the Central Bank office, as well as Aminullah Rezadee, a driver at the bank, were killed in the explosion that targeted their vehicle in Makrorayan-e-Char area in downtown Kabul on November 7, 2020.
