At least three suspects were arrested in connection with deadly bomb blasts in the city of Bamiyan on Tuesday that according to sources killed at least 17 people and wounded over 50 others, police said. 

Bamiyan police said that according to their initial investigation, “Taliban has plotted the attack.” Taliban has denied involvement in the attack. 

The cases of violence against women in the country are still high, Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission said, adding that relevant institutions should help prevent impunity for those involved in such acts. 

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, activists said women’s easy access to judiciaries can help in the reduction of domestic violence.
