Step 1
Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has been informed that the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission (IHFFC) has been activated.
This is the first step needed to undertake an independent investigation into the attack on MSF’s hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, on 3 October.
The IHFFC is now awaiting the agreement of the United States and Afghanistan governments to proceed.
“We have received apologies and condolences, but this is not enough. We are still in the dark about why a well-known hospital full of patients and medical staff was repeatedly bombarded for more than an hour,” said Dr Joanne Liu, MSF International President.
MSF is an international medical organisation and first worked in Afghanistan in 1980. MSF opened Kunduz Trauma Centre in August 2011 to provide high quality, free medical and surgical care to victims of trauma such as traffic accidents, as well as those with conflict related injuries from bomb blasts or gunshots.
So. let everyone that cares about MSF and the people of Kunduz who have been left without their important services, keep the pressure on.
Send letters/communications to your representatives and the White House, this must not be allowed to slide like all the rest. It is time to say
Not this time!
Rather than sorry it is time for justice to be done to many "mistakes" have been ignored and pardons too easily granted.
From time to time you have to look back to avoid the same war crimes being done in the future.
Keep the pressure on
