Kandahar Victims' Relatives Fear A US Whitewash

Afghans await justice a year after Kandahar killings | Waslat: "Six representatives from the victims’ families travelled to the US a week ago to sit in at the trial. They wanted to put pressure on the court case by showing their presence, explains Samiullah Khan.
“We have waited for exactly a year now. Our government is weak and has not paid any attention to us,” the 35-year-old says angrily. “The trial should have taken place in Afghanistan. The murders were, after all, committed in Afghanistan. We lost members of our families. The injustice was done to us; the oppressors have done wrong and we are the ones who suffer from it. We want those responsible to be brought to justice.”
“We would rather have seen him hanged in Afghanistan long ago,” says Haji Abdul Balqi, who lost three relatives in the massacre. “But he’s gone now and we cannot hang him here.”"
