@sarahadams Serving the Pakistani establishment is a profound moral failure. Targeting innocent civilian Afghans is a terrorist attack, and we condemn every terrorist state mainly the Pakistani establishment for their support of terrorism over the last half century.
@realZalmayMK Only if these flowers could speak, I am sure they would speak out and disown you. They would be ashamed of you and would call you out for the suffering your decisions helped bring upon Afghanistan.
@realZalmayMK We have much more valuable flowers that have been deprived of breathing freely. All because of u & ur wrongful decisions. Zalmay don’t romanticize Gul-e-Lala in Mazar while Afghan women, are denied freedom and dignity. The reality you helped shape cannot be covered with flowers.
I visited this drug rehabilitation centre in 2023.
More than 3,000 addicts were crammed into a facility built for just 1,000 beds.
The Taliban claims at least 400 people were killed after a Pakistani airstrike. Islamabad has denied targeting any such facility.
Watch my report from 2023 @AamirPeerzadaa
I’ve been inside this facility in Kabul.
It’s a vast drug rehabilitation centre where thousands battling addiction are brought for treatment — part of a desperate effort to confront one of the country’s worst social crises.
Tonight it’s burning. https://t.co/lQZMwdvTK7
Statement by the International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF)
The International Human Rights Foundation strongly condemns the reported bombardment by Pakistan of a rehabilitation hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan treating drug addicts, an attack that has reportedly killed a large number of vulnerable patients seeking medical care and recovery.
Facilities dedicated to treatment, rehabilitation, and humanitarian care must never become targets in any conflict or security operation. Patients in such institutions are among the most vulnerable members of society — individuals who came seeking help, dignity, and a chance to rebuild their lives.
We are deeply disturbed by reports that many of the victims were unarmed civilians undergoing treatment.
The International Human Rights Foundation calls for:
• An independent international investigation into this incident
• Accountability for those responsible
• Immediate measures to ensure the protection of medical and rehabilitation facilities
Attacks on medical institutions violate the most basic principles of international humanitarian law and human rights norms.
The world must not remain silent when places of healing are turned into sites of tragedy.

I am deeply saddened by the latest reports of civilian casualties as a result of Pakistani airstrikes in Kabul. Targeting civilian homes, educational facilities or medical infrastructure, either intentional or by mistake, is a war crime. The sheer disregard for human lives, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, is sickening and deeply concerning. It will only fuel division and hatred. I call upon the UN and other human rights agencies to thoroughly investigate this latest atrocity and hold the perpetrators to account. I stand with my Afghan people in this difficult time. We shall heal, and we will rise as a nation. We always do. Inshallah ! 🇦🇫
@sarahadams Which Haibatullah are you referring to the one who was nurtured, funded, trained, and sheltered in Punjab by the Pakistani military? It’s ironic, create the problem, then use that very problem as justification to pursue strategic interests, all while civilian lives pay the price.
56 civilians killed and 129 others injured in Pakistani attacks in Afghanistan in the last ten days. More than half of them are women are children.

Shabana Mahmood, the UK home Secretary of Pakistani origin, blocks Afghan women, already banned from studying and working under the Taliban, from getting UK visas, while her country of origin, which has abused the UK immigration system the most, isn’t even on the ban list.
