Afghan community angered but unsurprised by revelations of alleged Australian war crimes
Afghans living in Australia say they are saddened and angered, but not surprised, that a landmark investigation has found “credible information” Australian soldiers allegedly murdered innocent civilians during the conflict in Afghanistan.
Key points:
- Afghans who fled for Australia say the revelations are “disheartening”
- The report found credible information that Australian soldiers had illegally killed 39 people
- The Afghan community hopes the report marks the first step on the path to justice
For the last four years, the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force (IGADF) has been investigating allegations that Australian troops committed war crimes during special missions in the war-torn country.
