Press Release
America and NATO are the Two Worst Perpetrators of Human and Child Rights
(Translated)

The government of Afghanistan has officially announced that from 2008 onwards, the US Army has imprisoned more than 200 children in Bagram jail. However, it's not only Bagram; the world has witnessed their terrorist and inhumane activities in Kandahar and Abu-Ghuraib as well.

The US, not only accepted their imprisonment of Afghan children for a long time, rather they also defend this malicious act claiming they need to place these kids behind bars to stop them from being involving in activities against them. This policy of imprisoning kids and youth is one of Obama's regime policies, where they try to lock anyone perceived as a potential threat behind bars. One of the causes of enmity towards the US, amongst the children and youth, is the high death rate of children. Ironically, the colonialist forces do such activities under the guise of eradicating potential threats.

Afghan government, who knew of child imprisonment in Bagram prison, has condemned this act symbolically but with blatant hypocrisy. They only uttered words proving their relation with the US being one of master and slave.

All of this is happening at a time when the US is planning its withdrawal and is preparing for the tactical policy change by signing strategic and security pacts. However such evil acts have further exposed the ugly face of the US and `its corrupt values to the Muslims of Afghanistan and to the world in general. It was the US, who after the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, became the champion of human rights, children rights and to bring positive change in women's lives, but this incident has attested to every sane person without a shade of doubt that the US and its allies are the worst violators of children, women, and human rights. In addition, the US is the only state who used atomic weapons against another country, whose effects can still be felt today in the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki involving the high number of genetically deformed children. Furthermore, there are authentic reports and documents stating the US have used white phosphorus and other chemical weapons against innocent civilians of Iraq and Afghanistan, killing thousands of people.

It is due to such barbaric crimes that makes the US the worst violator of human rights. Despite all of these crimes, they still have the audacity to impose on us their corrupt ideology of Capitalism and its ruling system of Democracy that has ruined the world both socially and economically.

As Allah (swt) rightly said:

(قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاء مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِی صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ)

"Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse." [Ali-Imran: 118]
