From 2010 to 2013, British special forces deployed in Afghanistan killed many civilians like the Taliban without trial. These forces were also accused of hiding their illegal actions. In 2022, the UK Ministry of Defense launched the Afghanistan Inquiry. Under this, war crimes in Afghanistan are being investigated.

Evidence and hundreds of documents were released on Wednesday. Many secrets of the cruelty of the British Army's Special Air Service (SAS) were revealed in this. One officer even called the British Army's Special Air Service a Golden Pass. Through this they used to escape from Afghanistan after committing murders.

unarmed people were murdered

The Afghanistan Inquiry is investigating night raids by special forces. Seven UK Special Forces personnel testified. However, their identities have been kept secret for security reasons. The soldiers said in their testimony that several unarmed people were killed during the conflict.

Those killed included people who were not a threat in any way. The investigation has also revealed that British soldiers also killed teenagers under the age of 16. However, the Defense Ministry said that it would be better to wait for the result of the investigation.

Shot with a pillow on his head

Let us tell you that the British military police had also investigated the allegations of war crimes against SAS. But later it was said that there was not enough evidence for prosecution. In the investigation, a soldier named N1799 said that all the men capable of fighting were killed during the campaign. A pillow was also placed on the head before shooting.

According to NDTV, another officer named N2107 said that military operations in Afghanistan were manipulated and facts were changed. After killing unarmed people, weapons were placed near their bodies so that it appeared that armed fighters had been killed.

The allegations against the UKSF were compared to those against US special operations forces, which have been accused of committing war crimes in Afghanistan. Some witnesses also expressed security concerns about the case. One soldier demanded the removal of two representatives of the Ministry of Defense before testifying.
