KABUL (Pajhwok): The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) on Monday expressed its deep concern over the killing of human rights defenders Frozan Safi and Hijratullah Khogyani.
“UNAMA is deeply concerned at reports of killing of human rights defenders Frozan Safi in Mazar-i Sharif & Hijratullah Khogyani in Jalalabad.”
The UN mission called for a prompt, independent and impartial investigation. It said civil society was not a target and impunity not an option.
