Several former members of the British Special Forces have revealed new details about war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

They stated that during the British military presence in Afghanistan, extrajudicial killings, the execution of bound prisoners, and the killing of civilians—including children—took place.

According to the BBC, some members of the SAS entered homes at night and killed individuals while they were sleeping. They would then cut the handcuffs off and place weapons next to the bodies to make the victims appear armed.

Ahmad Khan Andar, a military analyst, said: "An international court is necessary to prosecute war crimes and the criminals responsible in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq."

The report also states that David Cameron, the former British prime minister, visited Afghanistan seven times between 2010 and 2013 and was warned by then-President Hamid Karzai about civilian casualties. However, Cameron’s spokesperson told the BBC that no direct warning was received at the time regarding the conduct of British Special Forces in Afghanistan.

Aziz Marij, a former diplomat, commented: "When one or two countries raise their voices, others dismiss responsibility in order to protect their future image and historical record. But the truth is, they still want to destabilize Afghanistan. It is essential that the Afghan people raise their voice on the international stage—demanding trials or war reparations."

The Islamic Emirate said these confessions are evidence of war crimes committed by occupying forces, including NATO and the United States, against the Afghan people.

Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, said: "It is a reality that all occupying forces committed various war crimes over the past twenty years in Afghanistan. NATO forces, led by the United States, were engaged daily in torturing and killing Afghans."

Meanwhile, Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, called for accountability and justice for the victims and their families.

He stated: "Further shocking revelations by BBC Panorama ‘Ex-UK Special Forces break silence on war crimes by colleagues’ highlights the need for comprehensive accountability and justice for victims and their families.”

Salim Peygir, a political analyst, said: "It is absolutely essential that not only Britain but all countries that committed war crimes in Afghanistan be held accountable and pay war reparations to the Afghan people."

This comes as General Patrick Sanders, Chief of the UK General Staff, has expressed support for an independent investigation into the war crimes allegations against British Special Forces in Afghanistan. The UK government launched an inquiry in February 2023 titled "Independent Inquiry Relating to Afghanistan" to examine these accusations.
