KABUL - Afghanistan on Wednesday released two civil society activists arrested after exposing alleged sexual abuse of hundreds of school children, following pressure from the United States and international human rights groups.
Mohammad Musa, a leading rights activist who was investigating the case and quoted by the newspaper, was detained by National Directorate of Security personnel along with his colleague Ehsanullah Hamidi last week on the way to Kabul. In an NDS video released the same day, Musa was seen saying his research was incomplete and he made a mistake - a confession rejected as “Soviet-style” by U.S. Ambassador John Bass.
“Rather than punishing them for speaking out against these horrific crimes, the authorities should praise them for their work and hold the suspected perpetrators accountable,” said Samira Hamidi, an Amnesty South Asia campaigner.
