Press Release: Rapes of Women Prisoners and the Criminal Silence of the Government and Media

Rapes of Women Prisoners and the Criminal Silence of the Government and Media

Adaalat (Justice) a civil and legal firm in one of its latest reports has released that around 35 female prisoners in the western zone of Afghanistan have been raped by the Prosecutors and Judges. The report is based on testimonies of women in Ghor, Herat, Farah and Badghes provinces, who accused the Prosecutors and Judges for carrying these rapes. The Director of Adaalat, in an interview with the Azadi Radio stated that this report has been submitted to the Afghan President in which he has demanded to prosecute all these criminals.

This is not the first time where such a shocking, inhuman, and un-Islamic incidents have been reported, rather many times in the past such heinous crimes were perpetrated by the authorities themselves against the females prisoners, residing in the worst conditions. However, the secular government of Afghanistan has not taken any step to tackle it. In fact, this time the latest incident has not even made it to media headlines due to the fact that media is busy playing its fallacious role of producing headlines about ‘terrorism’ and ‘extremism’ and have ignored the matter portraying it as something trivial.

In fact, the state that does not implement the provisions of Islam would naturally would indulge in such grave issues and will face such shames. This western puppet regime, the man-made laws, copied from the secular west which is made by the corrupt parliament/Loya Jirga, garnished with few Islamic rules to cover the manmade laws that contributed to the Democratic freedoms, policies of Gender equality, corrupt civil society forums and Human Rights organizations etc. that are inculcating the environment required for committing such atrocious crimes by the governments officials and other entities against the Muslim women.

We believe that the sellout leadership and the puppet regimes in Afghanistan and the Muslim world in general, do not have the ability and will to stop such odious criminalities. In fact, they are the ones playing with the honor and dignity of the people. Therefore, it is incumbent upon every one of the Ummah to uproot the corrupt secular regimes from our lands and replace them with the justice of Islam through Khilafah Rashidah upon the method of the Prophethood, a system that will indeed drag them to the courts of law.
