Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate, today Friday, issued a statement, reacting to the accusations of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court against the Leader of the Islamic Emirate and the Chief Justice of the country.
The statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate emphasized that the request for the arrest of the Leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and Sheikh Abdul Karim Haqqani, Chief Justice of the country, based on many other decisions of the aforementioned structure, has no legal basis and is politically motivated.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate has emphasized that the Islamic Emirate strongly condemns and rejects the baseless accusations of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
This comes while the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague previously announced that he had officially requested an arrest warrant for the Leader of the Islamic Emirate and Sheikh Abdul Karim Haqqani on charges of harassing women in Afghanistan.
Karim Khan, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Court, announced on Thursday, that an arrest warrant has been requested against Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, the Leader of the Islamic Emirate, and Abdul Hakim Haqqani, the Chief Justice of Afghanistan.
