Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: In response to the American-Zionist attacks against Iran, the Afghan scientific community issued a statement condemning these attacks on scientific and research centers and expressing their solidarity with the Iranian people and scientific community.
The statement states that scientific and research centers have always enjoyed a high status as centers of thought, awareness, and progress, and any attack on these institutions is a clear violation of human principles, international standards, and the fundamental values of science and knowledge.
The signatories of the statement, including a group of Afghan professors, researchers, and academics, expressed deep concern about the recent attacks, expressed regret and shock at the harm and martyrdom of a number of professors, students, and citizens in Iran, and strongly condemned these actions.
The statement continued by expressing sympathy for the families of the victims and the Iranian scientific community, and emphasized the need to protect the security of scientific institutions and the immunity of professors, students, and students. The American-Zionist attacks on universities, schools, and medical centers, including schools in various regions, were also criticized as a clear violation of international law and humanitarian principles.
Another part of the statement states that science and awareness can act as a bridge between nations and should not be a victim of violence and military conflicts. Afghan academics also emphasized scientific and human solidarity between nations and called for peace, stability, and the preservation of the dignity of scientific institutions.
In conclusion, they emphasized that the path of science and knowledge will never be stopped by war and violence, and the mission of the academic community to protect truth, awareness, and human values will continue responsibly.
Based on the principles of international humanitarian law, educational and medical centers are considered civilian sites, and targeting them is considered a serious violation of international law.
The scientific community in many countries has always emphasized the need to maintain the security of these institutions and prevent harm to students, professors, and pupils, and considers science to be a factor in strengthening peace, dialogue, and cooperation between nations.
