The Afghanistan Inquiry Committee in the UK has revealed that British special forces, during their missions in Afghanistan, would lift Afghan prisoners up with a motorized crane for amusement before lowering them back down. This incident was uncovered as part of official investigations into the conduct of British military personnel in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
According to the committee’s findings, any soldier who expressed concern over extrajudicial killings was labeled as an “accomplice or supporter of the Taliban.” This approach, witnesses say, created an atmosphere of silence and fear among the forces.<\/p>\n
Monica Garnell, a former journalist, and Christopher Green, a member of the British Army reserves, testified before the inquiry committee. They provided details about how special forces treated detainees and the prevailing environment within military units.<\/p>\n
Christopher Green told the committee that in 2012, British special forces shot and killed three peasant brothers. He stated that following the incident, a sum of \u00a33,634 was paid to the mother of the three brothers as compensation.<\/p>\n
The Afghanistan Inquiry Committee, established by the British government, is tasked with investigating allegations of extrajudicial killings and the conduct of British special forces during their military presence in Afghanistan. This report could have significant legal and political repercussions within the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
