Embassy Statement on the shafia's family Case
Ottawa: The Embassy of Afghanistan in Ottawa issued the following statement on January 30, 2012, about the Safia’s Family case:
The Embassy of Afghanistan in Ottawa condemns the horrific death of four innocent women in Kingston, Ontario, with the strongest terms possible. The killing of Rona Amir Mohammed, Zainab Shafia, Sahar Shafia and Geeti Shafia, which accrued in summer 2009, were a heinous crime against humanity.
This kind of Crime is neither part of Afghan culture nor Islamic culture, and it is not acceptable in any ways. There is nothing honorable, about violence against anyone especially against innocent women. Honor killing is unacceptable in Afghanistan Constitution and its Justice System.
May Allah bless the souls of these innocent victims and grant them with the highest levels of paradise.
