    Dismayed by fresh reports of #Pakistan airstrikes in #Afghanistan and resulting civilian casualties. My condolences. I urge parties to de-escalate, exercise maximum restraint & respect international law, including the protection of civilians and civilian objects such as hospitals

    من حمله وحشتناک امروز بر @اکادمی کاج در #دشت برچی را محکوم می کنم. تکرار حمله #داعش در ۲۰۱۸ در عین مکان. حملات به مراکز #آموزشی #هزاره ها و #شیعه ها باید پایان یابند. حملات به #آینده افغانستان باید پایان یابند، جرایم جنگی باید متوقف شوند #حسابدهی باید صورت گیرد

    Today, more explosions rocks #afghanistan, striking #Shia mosque in Mazar e Sharif and again the #Hazara community is a victim. Systematic targeted attacks on crowded #schools & #mosques call for immediate #investigation, #accountability & end to such #humanrightsviolations

    The suspension of women from university education announced today by TB acting Min of Higher Educ marks a new low further violating the right to equal education & deepens the erasure of women from #Afghan society. I call on the TB to reverse it immediately #LetAfghangirlslearn

    امروز ۸ می، یک سال از انفجار در مکتب سیدالشهدا می‌گذرد. در این انفجار ۸۵ افغان که اکثراً دختران دانش‌آموز ۱۱ تا ۱۷ ساله بودند، جان باختند. من همدردی همیشگی خود را با خانواده‌ها و عزیزان قربانیان ابراز می‌کنم. باید زندگی آنها را به یاد داشت و برای‌شان عدالت خواست. ۱/۳

    I condemn today’s horrific attack on students @Kaaj Academy #Dasht-e Barchi, #studentsnotargets. Repeat of 2018 #ISKP attack at same location. Onslaught on #education for #Hazaras & #Shia must end. Stop attacks on #Afghanistan’s future, stop int'l crimes. #accountability 1/2

    Deeply concerned about latest allegations of extrajudicial summary executions in #Panjshir. Reminding int’l human rights obligations of all parties, I call for immediate thorough investigation and for perpetrators to be held accountable. I am closely monitoring the situation.

    During my visit to #Afghanistan, I met diverse stakeholders incl. female & male reps of civil society from several provinces. Reps from #Panjshir described a massive crackdown on civilians by TB & widespread human rights abuses, incl. egregious violations of women & girls. 1/3
