Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: According to Bakhtar Agency, Sky News, which operates in England, has published a report accusing the British government of obstructing the process of investigating the crimes of its soldiers in Afghanistan under the pretext of security issues.
This news channel further said that the Ministry of Defense and the Royal Military Police of England are seeking to impose extensive restrictions on conducting investigations under the pretext of issues such as national security and privacy.
In this Sky News report, it is stated that after killing Afghan civilians, to cover up their crimes, the British soldiers placed weapons next to the civilians to pretend that these people were armed and were killed as a result of the conflict.
This media added: Justice Haddon Q, who is responsible for investigating the case of British special forces crimes in Afghanistan, has announced in a ruling that some evidence, identity of witnesses and testimony will be limited to closed sessions in which the media and the public are allowed to attend.
This English judge has stated that there are issues related to national security and other reasons for judicial hearings to be held behind closed doors, but he did not clarify these reasons.
According to an investigation by a British legal organization called "Lee Day", which began in December 2022, British Special Forces in Afghanistan killed at least 80 Afghan civilians between 2010 and 2014.
