Armed Men Gang Rape Women in Suburbia Kabul
[Tolo News] A number of gunnies gang raped four women who were on their way home from a wedding ceremony last Friday evening.Last week on Friday around 9 p.m. on Paghman-Qargha road a group of gunnies stopped two vehicles carrying eight women home from a wedding they had attended in Paghman, a district of Kabul, in a township known as De Araban 20 kilometers away from Kabul City. The women and two men were forced to exit the vehicles. When the men and women got out of the car, their jewelry and money were robbed and the two men were beaten by the group of 14 unknown gunnies. While the men were being brutally beaten, three eyewitnesses stopped to help the men in danger, instead were beaten as well. "We could not see what condition the women were in because we were scared," Ahmad Zahir, one of the three men who stopped to help, said. "We wanted to escape the scene alive. They took us to a place where animals don't even go." Noorullah, the other eyewitness of the three, said he and his friends were tortured badly that night, but recalls the horrifying screams and cries of the women. "They took the women out of the cars and harassed them...a lot," Noorullah said. "The women were captive to those men until 2 a.m." Sources on the condition of anonymity said that four of the eight women were transferred to a nearby hospital on Saturday morning, but the families of the victims did not want the tragedy to be publicly disclosed, so they left the hospital with the women. However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... hospital officials have confirmed the incident, but did not want to come before the camera. When the tragic incident took place the Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs (MoI) was not prepared to confirm the incident even after four days had passed and after consecutive phone calls and messages from TOLOnews news hounds. A week later, on Thursday the Kabul police department confirmed that two of the 14 men have been tossed in the clink Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! in connection to the looting of the jewels and money of the victims, but not the heinous crime. "What was reported to us was that jewels and money were robbed," Kabul Police Chief Gen. Zahir Zahir said. "So far no one has complained about a gang rape. These men have not talked to us about the harassment of the women. If it is proved that they have raped the women, I command my men to bring the remaining criminals to me dead." The Kabul police department has said that efforts are underway to arrest the criminals that are still out there. The perpetrators will be arrested and their jewels and money will be returned, but reviving the honor of the family and healing their wounds is impossible. Posted by: Fred 2014-08-30 |
