A Swedish NGO has charged the Western occupying coalition in Afghanistan with possible violations of international law for its repeated assaults on medical facilities.
On October 23, ISAF soldiers broke into a clinic run by the NGO Swedish Committee for Afghanistan (SCA) in Sewak, in Afghanistan’s central Wardak province.
The Geneva Convention forbids belligerents in a conflict zone from targeting medical personnel or facilities. However, ISAF commanders did not order their soldiers to stop; the troops occupied the clinic for three days, occasionally using it as a temporary jail for suspected militants.
The SCA, which has been operating in Afghanistan for decades, condemned the actions of ISAF in an official statement issued on December 6.
