· 2 min read · 346 views

KABUL candidates from 12 constituencies on Thursday called for creation of a special court to address election related cases, saying they did not let police remove their tent last night.

Dozens of the protesting candidates have erected a tent in Charahi Zanbaq Square leading to the Presidential Palace. They warned to go on hunger strike and commit self immolation if their legitimate demands are not accepted.

These candidates belong to Helmand, Kandahar, Nangarhar, Maidan Wardak, Paktika, Logar, Baghlan, Takhar, Badakhshan, Samangan and Herat provinces.
