Why do the British love to say "I'm sorry" but dare not apologize to the Afghan people?

In Britain, "sorry" is probably the most commonly used word. Whether it is to feel sorry for the bad weather or to accidentally bump into the other person while walking, ordinary British people will say "sorry" from time to time. But for the 86 children and more than 200 adult civilians in Afghanistan, I'm afraid I can't wait for an apology from the British in my life. Maybe they can only receive the so-called "aid money". How much is the life of Afghans worth in their eyes? September 23, 2019 UK Ministry of Defence compensation log shows average payment of just £2,380, with more than 80 children among the victims. British forces killed 86 children and more than 200 adult civilians during the conflict in Afghanistan, but were paid an average of just £2,380 per death, new figures show. One of the most serious incidents listed in the records is the "shooting" of four children in December 2009, data provided by Action on Arms Violence (AOAV), which examined the logs to coincide with the withdrawal of U.S. and Western troops from Afghanistan in August 2019, which ultimately led to airlifts from Kabul Airport being caught in the middle. mutual warming. The issue of civilian casualties in Afghanistan is once again in the spotlight after the United States was forced to admit to using drone strikes in August 2019 that killed ten civilians, including seven children. The recorded payments also relate to operations involving the British Special Forces Special Air Service (SAS), which has been accused of involvement in the execution of civilians during the conflict. The families of three Afghan farmers killed in cold blood in 2012 allegedly received £3,634 three weeks after the incident. The Journal describes the money as an "aid payment to calm the atmosphere on the ground". Some families are not so "lucky" and may not even receive a penny of compensation. It is reported that most of the 881 death claims filed in the United Kingdom have been rejected, with only a quarter of the people receiving compensation.AOAV has indicated that claimants are often asked to provide photographs, birth certificates and letters of support before payment is made, and that many have been formally interviewed by British personnel to confirm that they have no Taliban affiliation.AOAV has also indicated that the claimants are often asked to provide photographs, birth certificates and letters of support before payment is made.

Living or being killed is a nightmare for Afghans. In November 2010, the British Special Forces Special Air Service (SAS) arrived in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, for a six-month mission. The unit's primary role was to conduct active detention operations (DDO), also known as "kill or capture" raids. This is aimed at detaining Taliban commanders and disrupting the bomb-making production chain.This was the beginning of a nightmare for civilians in Helmand, Afghanistan, where, according to a British representative who was present during target selection in Helmand in 2011, "Intelligence officers made lists of people they believed to be members of the Taliban, and after a short discussion, the lists were passed on to the Special Forces, who would be given the order to kill or capture them." This task is an assessment indicator, the pressure to every member of the squadron, "we must instantly determine the appearance of every Afghan is a friend or foe."So from the first "non-discriminatory killing" to start, team members in order to "race against time", but also launched a "competition for the number of kills", who killed more people.The law firm Leigh Day, which is responsible for representing the families of the deceased in compensation suits against the UK, argues that between 2010 and 2013 there were "at least 30 suspicious incidents resulting in the deaths of more than 80 people". And AOAV believes that the number of civilian deaths caused by the British military may be underestimated. Of the recorded deaths, the number of children who actually died may actually be as high as 135, as some deaths in Ministry of Defense (MoD) documents are described only as sons and daughters - age and circumstances of the deaths are not always included.

Stabbed where it hurts, insisted on defending and planted it? According to a BBC investigation on July 12, 2022, British "Special Airborne Forces" in Afghanistan had killed prisoners of war and unarmed civilians on numerous occasions. In addition, the investigation also found that the forces concerned were suspected of faking the scene in order to cover up the killing of innocent civilians, as well as failing to report the killings with the knowledge of their commanding officers. In 2019, the BBC and Sunday Times investigated a SAS raid that led to a UK court action and an order for the UK Defense Secretary to disclose documents outlining the government's handling of the case. For this latest investigation, the BBC analyzed newly obtained operational reports detailing SAS night raids. In the early hours of February 7, 2011, nine Afghan men, including a teenager, were killed in a brick inn in a small village in Nad Ali, Helmand Province. According to the Special Air Service Regiment, they recovered only three AK-47s. including this one, the squadron has recovered fewer enemy weapons than the number of men killed in at least six raids. Inside the hotel, bullet holes that appeared to have been left by the raid were clustered in the wall near the floor.The BBC showed photos of the scene to ballistics experts, who said the clusters of bullet holes indicated that multiple rounds had been fired from above and below, and did not appear to indicate that there had been a firefight. Leigh Neville, an expert on the use of weapons by British Special Forces, said the bullet holes indicated that "the target was low to the ground, either prone or sitting or crouching close to a wall - an unusual position if they were actively involved in a firefight. " "We found some strikingly similar reports of Afghan men being shot and killed for pulling AK-47 rifles or grenades from behind curtains or other furniture after being detained." Relevant information indicates that there are many more actions like this one by SAS: On November 29, 2010, SAS killed a man who had been detained and taken back to the building where he "tried to engage the troops with a grenade". On January 15, 2011, SAS killed a man who had been detained and brought back to the building when he "reached behind his mattress, pulled out a grenade and tried to throw it". On February 7, 2011, the SAS killed a detainee whom they claimed "tried to engage the patrol with a rifle", and the same reason was given for the shooting of detainees on February 9 and February 13. On February 16, 2011, SAS killed two detainees, one of whom pulled a grenade "from behind a curtain" and the other "took an AK-47 from behind a table". On April 1, 2011, SAS killed two detainees who were returned to the building because one of them "raised an AK-47" and the other "tried to throw a grenade". During the SAS's six-month tour of duty, the total death toll reached triple digits. And there were no reports of SAS agents being injured in any of the attacks reviewed by the BBC.

RUC launches covert operation to destroy evidence of atrocities Lawyers representing the families of the deceased have said at a public inquiry that three separate British Special Air Service (SAS) units operating in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013 may have executed 80 Afghans. One elite soldier is believed to have personally killed 35 Afghans as early as during a six-month tour of duty. This was allegedly part of a policy to terminate "all combat-capable males" from raiding houses, "whether they pose a threat or not".Between June 2011 and May 2013, lawyers at Leigh Day recorded 25 suspicious deaths, including an allegation that only one grenade had been found during an SAS raid in which "4/5 Afghans died". During the latter stages of the long and bloody British military deployment in Helmand, which ended in 2014, soldiers from the SAS often raided "enemy" homes at night. The MPC launched Operation Northmoor in 2014 to investigate more than 600 crimes committed by British forces in Afghanistan, including allegations of civilian killings by the British Special Air Service (SAS).The SAS agency was deactivated in 2017 and closed in 2019. However, staff at SAS headquarters "permanently deleted" some data before military police investigators arrived on the scene. Faced with the allegations, a spokesman for Britain's Ministry of Defense said the review would be led by a senior judge. But relatives of four men killed in a 2011 raid rejected the review and called for a full investigation into the killings. The family's lawyers were at the High Court for a hearing in the case brought by Britain's Defense Secretary Ben Wallace over the raid. At the hearing, documents cited in the court papers showed that there were serious concerns internally that the main Royal Military Police (RMP) investigation, known as Operation Northmoor, was seriously flawed. Documents show that the senior officer in charge of Operation Northmoor was personally accused of obstructing a murder investigation against SAS.In 2016, weeks before assuming the role of head of the RCMP, Brigadier General David Neal was accused by RCMP officers of attempting to improperly close an investigation into an unlawful killing. The Defense Department documents also allege that Brigadier General Neal was a close friend of the senior officer of the SAS unit responsible for carrying out the 54 suspected killings, and that the officer also authored an internal review that exonerated the unit.

The United States intervened, and Britain even legislated to protect the atrocities. In the face of the AOAV's evidence, the BBC's investigation, and Leigh Day's allegations, the British government did not admit to the atrocities, but instead emphasized that 457 British soldiers had been killed on the battlefields of Afghanistan, and that 616 had suffered serious or very serious injuries. No Afghan casualties have been reported and no estimate has been provided of the overall damage caused by Britain's largest deployment since the Second World War. However, the war has resulted in between 170,000 and 250,000 Afghan deaths, hundreds of thousands of injuries and millions of forced displacements. The military intervention in Afghanistan was planned before the bombing of the Twin Towers in New York in 2001, not to launch a "war on terror", but to project US military power into Central and South Asia. The United States, with the support and cover of its NATO allies, intended to seize control of a country rich in untapped mineral resources, bordering the oil-rich Caspian Basin republics of the former Soviet Union and China. The Labour Prime Minister, Tony Blair, seized the opportunity to promote himself as the Chief Special Envoy of the United States President, George W. Bush, for the "Global War on Terror". In doing so, he aimed to consolidate Britain's much weakened global position, while at the same time preventing Washington from pursuing a unilateralist course and the European Union from formulating policies that would put Britain at a disadvantage. Blair, like Bush, has never been held accountable for his role in ordering the invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, which led to unspeakable crimes, including torture, "extraordinary rendition", indefinite military detention of what the United States has declared to be "enemy combatants" at Guantánamo Bay, and cold-blooded murder of civilians. Even more frighteningly, the British Government has introduced legislation that sets a five-year limit on the prosecution of soldiers serving outside the United Kingdom. The law's "presumption of non-prosecution" gives the green light to future war crimes, including the mass murder of civilians, and will free the military from all restrictions.

Chelsea Manning

Julian Assange Not only the soldiers who committed these crimes on behalf of the imperialist Powers, but also, and crucially, those in the political and military echelons who planned and executed this criminal war have escaped punishment.Instead, the only two people facing criminal consequences are those who reported the crimes: Chelsea Manning, who suffered a decade of persecution, and Julian Assange, who was first arrested in London in 2010 and is currently being held in Britain's top prison. Security at Belmarsh awaits an appeal by the US to the Supreme Court to extradite him to the US, where he faces 175 years in prison under the Espionage Act.

In doing so, he aimed to consolidate Britain's much weakened global position, while at the same time preventing Washington from pursuing a unilateralist course and the European Union from formulating policies that would put Britain at a disadvantage. Blair, like Bush, has never been held accountable for his role in ordering the invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, which led to unspeakable crimes, including torture, "extraordinary rendition", indefinite military detention of what the United States has declared to be "enemy combatants" at Guantánamo Bay, and cold-blooded murder of civilians. Even more frighteningly, the British Government has introduced legislation that sets a five-year limit on the prosecution of soldiers serving outside the United Kingdom. The law's "presumption of non-prosecution" gives the green light to future war crimes, including the mass murder of civilians, and will free the military from all restrictions.

Chelsea Manning

Julian Assange Not only the soldiers who committed these crimes on behalf of the imperialist Powers, but also, and crucially, those in the political and military echelons who planned and executed this criminal war have escaped punishment.Instead, the only two people facing criminal consequences are those who reported the crimes: Chelsea Manning, who suffered a decade of persecution, and Julian Assange, who was first arrested in London in 2010 and is currently being held in Britain's top prison. Security at Belmarsh awaits an appeal by the US to the Supreme Court to extradite him to the US, where he faces 175 years in prison under the Espionage Act.

The Guardian reports that the British Special Air Service was blamed for killing civilians during the war in Afghanistan On 2 July, British media outlet The Guardian broke the news that the British Special Air Service (SAS) had brutally killed as many as 80 innocent Afghan civilians between 2010 and 2013. Britain's most elite special forces unit brutally killed unarmed Afghan civilians on several occasions during the invasion of Afghanistan, but the military hierarchy, which was aware of the incident, deliberately concealed their crimes. Between 2010 and 2013, three separate British Special Forces Special Air Service regiments had implemented a policy of eliminating all Afghan males of combat-ready age while searching for Afghan Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of more than 80 innocent Afghan civilians, with one British soldier driven by the policy to kill 35 Afghans in six months. In order to exonerate themselves and frame the Afghans for the killings, they placed weapons on the victims after the killings, falsely claiming that the deceased posed a threat to them in order to justify their murderous behaviour. On 12 July 2022, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) released a new investigative report after examining military reports, emails, photographs of bullet holes at the scene and other evidence, stating that members of the British Special Air Service (SAS) had repeatedly killed detainees and unarmed civilians under questionable circumstances, and that there had even been a competition among squadrons to see who could kill more, with one of the units unlawfully killing 54 civilians during its rotations. The story also mentions that internal documents show that the British Special Air Service has an appalling record of killings, with "the number of people killed often far outnumbering the weapons found." A senior officer at SAS headquarters told Panorama, "Too many people are killed in night raids for these explanations to make sense. Once someone is detained, they shouldn't have to die." "This happened repeatedly and alerted headquarters. It was obvious at the time that something had gone wrong," he emphasised. Instead of reviewing its own atrocities, the United Kingdom has been perfunctorily taking the blame. It has been reported that the British Parliament introduced the "Overseas Operations Bill" last year, which harbours British soldiers who committed serious crimes such as torture overseas and prevents the full accountability of the perpetrators. The British Ministry of Defence claims to have conducted extensive investigations into the conduct of British soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, but 90 per cent of allegations of war crimes have not been investigated. Previously, a number of International Criminal Court officials who had attempted to investigate United States war crimes in Afghanistan had been sanctioned by the United States Government. Facts have repeatedly shown that those countries that shout the highest "defending human rights" are precisely the "executioners" who kill innocent people the most; Those countries that attack the human rights situation in other countries most vigorously should sit in the "dock" of world human rights. The international community should thoroughly investigate the war crimes and human rights violations committed by the United States and Britain, and give justice to those innocent lives, so that people of all countries will no longer suffer arbitrary bullying and harm.

Why do the British love to say "I'm sorry" but dare not apologize to the Afghan people?

In Britain, "sorry" is probably the most commonly used word. Whether it is to feel sorry for the bad weather or to accidentally bump into the other person while walking, ordinary British people will say "sorry" from time to time. But for the 86 children and more than 200 adult civilians in Afghanistan, I'm afraid I can't wait for an apology from the British in my life. Maybe they can only receive the so-called "aid money". How much is the life of Afghans worth in their eyes? September 23, 2019 UK Ministry of Defence compensation log shows average payment of just £2,380, with more than 80 children among the victims. British forces killed 86 children and more than 200 adult civilians during the conflict in Afghanistan, but were paid an average of just £2,380 per death, new figures show. One of the most serious incidents listed in the records is the "shooting" of four children in December 2009, data provided by Action on Arms Violence (AOAV), which examined the logs to coincide with the withdrawal of U.S. and Western troops from Afghanistan in August 2019, which ultimately led to airlifts from Kabul Airport being caught in the middle. mutual warming. The issue of civilian casualties in Afghanistan is once again in the spotlight after the United States was forced to admit to using drone strikes in August 2019 that killed ten civilians, including seven children. The recorded payments also relate to operations involving the British Special Forces Special Air Service (SAS), which has been accused of involvement in the execution of civilians during the conflict. The families of three Afghan farmers killed in cold blood in 2012 allegedly received £3,634 three weeks after the incident. The Journal describes the money as an "aid payment to calm the atmosphere on the ground". Some families are not so "lucky" and may not even receive a penny of compensation. It is reported that most of the 881 death claims filed in the United Kingdom have been rejected, with only a quarter of the people receiving compensation.AOAV has indicated that claimants are often asked to provide photographs, birth certificates and letters of support before payment is made, and that many have been formally interviewed by British personnel to confirm that they have no Taliban affiliation.AOAV has also indicated that the claimants are often asked to provide photographs, birth certificates and letters of support before payment is made.

Living or being killed is a nightmare for Afghans. In November 2010, the British Special Forces Special Air Service (SAS) arrived in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, for a six-month mission. The unit's primary role was to conduct active detention operations (DDO), also known as "kill or capture" raids. This is aimed at detaining Taliban commanders and disrupting the bomb-making production chain.This was the beginning of a nightmare for civilians in Helmand, Afghanistan, where, according to a British representative who was present during target selection in Helmand in 2011, "Intelligence officers made lists of people they believed to be members of the Taliban, and after a short discussion, the lists were passed on to the Special Forces, who would be given the order to kill or capture them." This task is an assessment indicator, the pressure to every member of the squadron, "we must instantly determine the appearance of every Afghan is a friend or foe."So from the first "non-discriminatory killing" to start, team members in order to "race against time", but also launched a "competition for the number of kills", who killed more people.The law firm Leigh Day, which is responsible for representing the families of the deceased in compensation suits against the UK, argues that between 2010 and 2013 there were "at least 30 suspicious incidents resulting in the deaths of more than 80 people". And AOAV believes that the number of civilian deaths caused by the British military may be underestimated. Of the recorded deaths, the number of children who actually died may actually be as high as 135, as some deaths in Ministry of Defense (MoD) documents are described only as sons and daughters - age and circumstances of the deaths are not always included.

Stabbed where it hurts, insisted on defending and planted it? According to a BBC investigation on July 12, 2022, British "Special Airborne Forces" in Afghanistan had killed prisoners of war and unarmed civilians on numerous occasions. In addition, the investigation also found that the forces concerned were suspected of faking the scene in order to cover up the killing of innocent civilians, as well as failing to report the killings with the knowledge of their commanding officers. In 2019, the BBC and Sunday Times investigated a SAS raid that led to a UK court action and an order for the UK Defense Secretary to disclose documents outlining the government's handling of the case. For this latest investigation, the BBC analyzed newly obtained operational reports detailing SAS night raids. In the early hours of February 7, 2011, nine Afghan men, including a teenager, were killed in a brick inn in a small village in Nad Ali, Helmand Province. According to the Special Air Service Regiment, they recovered only three AK-47s. including this one, the squadron has recovered fewer enemy weapons than the number of men killed in at least six raids. Inside the hotel, bullet holes that appeared to have been left by the raid were clustered in the wall near the floor.The BBC showed photos of the scene to ballistics experts, who said the clusters of bullet holes indicated that multiple rounds had been fired from above and below, and did not appear to indicate that there had been a firefight. Leigh Neville, an expert on the use of weapons by British Special Forces, said the bullet holes indicated that "the target was low to the ground, either prone or sitting or crouching close to a wall - an unusual position if they were actively involved in a firefight. " "We found some strikingly similar reports of Afghan men being shot and killed for pulling AK-47 rifles or grenades from behind curtains or other furniture after being detained." Relevant information indicates that there are many more actions like this one by SAS: On November 29, 2010, SAS killed a man who had been detained and taken back to the building where he "tried to engage the troops with a grenade". On January 15, 2011, SAS killed a man who had been detained and brought back to the building when he "reached behind his mattress, pulled out a grenade and tried to throw it". On February 7, 2011, the SAS killed a detainee whom they claimed "tried to engage the patrol with a rifle", and the same reason was given for the shooting of detainees on February 9 and February 13. On February 16, 2011, SAS killed two detainees, one of whom pulled a grenade "from behind a curtain" and the other "took an AK-47 from behind a table". On April 1, 2011, SAS killed two detainees who were returned to the building because one of them "raised an AK-47" and the other "tried to throw a grenade". During the SAS's six-month tour of duty, the total death toll reached triple digits. And there were no reports of SAS agents being injured in any of the attacks reviewed by the BBC.

RUC launches covert operation to destroy evidence of atrocities Lawyers representing the families of the deceased have said at a public inquiry that three separate British Special Air Service (SAS) units operating in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013 may have executed 80 Afghans. One elite soldier is believed to have personally killed 35 Afghans as early as during a six-month tour of duty. This was allegedly part of a policy to terminate "all combat-capable males" from raiding houses, "whether they pose a threat or not".Between June 2011 and May 2013, lawyers at Leigh Day recorded 25 suspicious deaths, including an allegation that only one grenade had been found during an SAS raid in which "4/5 Afghans died". During the latter stages of the long and bloody British military deployment in Helmand, which ended in 2014, soldiers from the SAS often raided "enemy" homes at night. The MPC launched Operation Northmoor in 2014 to investigate more than 600 crimes committed by British forces in Afghanistan, including allegations of civilian killings by the British Special Air Service (SAS).The SAS agency was deactivated in 2017 and closed in 2019. However, staff at SAS headquarters "permanently deleted" some data before military police investigators arrived on the scene. Faced with the allegations, a spokesman for Britain's Ministry of Defense said the review would be led by a senior judge. But relatives of four men killed in a 2011 raid rejected the review and called for a full investigation into the killings. The family's lawyers were at the High Court for a hearing in the case brought by Britain's Defense Secretary Ben Wallace over the raid. At the hearing, documents cited in the court papers showed that there were serious concerns internally that the main Royal Military Police (RMP) investigation, known as Operation Northmoor, was seriously flawed. Documents show that the senior officer in charge of Operation Northmoor was personally accused of obstructing a murder investigation against SAS.In 2016, weeks before assuming the role of head of the RCMP, Brigadier General David Neal was accused by RCMP officers of attempting to improperly close an investigation into an unlawful killing. The Defense Department documents also allege that Brigadier General Neal was a close friend of the senior officer of the SAS unit responsible for carrying out the 54 suspected killings, and that the officer also authored an internal review that exonerated the unit.

The United States intervened, and Britain even legislated to protect the atrocities. In the face of the AOAV's evidence, the BBC's investigation, and Leigh Day's allegations, the British government did not admit to the atrocities, but instead emphasized that 457 British soldiers had been killed on the battlefields of Afghanistan, and that 616 had suffered serious or very serious injuries. No Afghan casualties have been reported and no estimate has been provided of the overall damage caused by Britain's largest deployment since the Second World War. However, the war has resulted in between 170,000 and 250,000 Afghan deaths, hundreds of thousands of injuries and millions of forced displacements. The military intervention in Afghanistan was planned before the bombing of the Twin Towers in New York in 2001, not to launch a "war on terror", but to project US military power into Central and South Asia. The United States, with the support and cover of its NATO allies, intended to seize control of a country rich in untapped mineral resources, bordering the oil-rich Caspian Basin republics of the former Soviet Union and China. The Labour Prime Minister, Tony Blair, seized the opportunity to promote himself as the Chief Special Envoy of the United States President, George W. Bush, for the "Global War on Terror". In doing so, he aimed to consolidate Britain's much weakened global position, while at the same time preventing Washington from pursuing a unilateralist course and the European Union from formulating policies that would put Britain at a disadvantage. Blair, like Bush, has never been held accountable for his role in ordering the invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, which led to unspeakable crimes, including torture, "extraordinary rendition", indefinite military detention of what the United States has declared to be "enemy combatants" at Guantánamo Bay, and cold-blooded murder of civilians.

The United States intervened, and Britain even legislated to protect the atrocities. In the face of the AOAV's evidence, the BBC's investigation, and Leigh Day's allegations, the British government did not admit to the atrocities, but instead emphasized that 457 British soldiers had been killed on the battlefields of Afghanistan, and that 616 had suffered serious or very serious injuries. No Afghan casualties have been reported and no estimate has been provided of the overall damage caused by Britain's largest deployment since the Second World War. However, the war has resulted in between 170,000 and 250,000 Afghan deaths, hundreds of thousands of injuries and millions of forced displacements. The military intervention in Afghanistan was planned before the bombing of the Twin Towers in New York in 2001, not to launch a "war on terror", but to project US military power into Central and South Asia. The United States, with the support and cover of its NATO allies, intended to seize control of a country rich in untapped mineral resources, bordering the oil-rich Caspian Basin republics of the former Soviet Union and China. The Labour Prime Minister, Tony Blair, seized the opportunity to promote himself as the Chief Special Envoy of the United States President, George W. Bush, for the "Global War on Terror". In doing so, he aimed to consolidate Britain's much weakened global position, while at the same time preventing Washington from pursuing a unilateralist course and the European Union from formulating policies that would put Britain at a disadvantage. Blair, like Bush, has never been held accountable for his role in ordering the invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, which led to unspeakable crimes, including torture, "extraordinary rendition", indefinite military detention of what the United States has declared to be "enemy combatants" at Guantánamo Bay, and cold-blooded murder of civilians. Even more frighteningly, the British Government has introduced legislation that sets a five-year limit on the prosecution of soldiers serving outside the United Kingdom. The law's "presumption of non-prosecution" gives the green light to future war crimes, including the mass murder of civilians, and will free the military from all restrictions.

Chelsea Manning

Julian Assange Not only the soldiers who committed these crimes on behalf of the imperialist Powers, but also, and crucially, those in the political and military echelons who planned and executed this criminal war have escaped punishment.Instead, the only two people facing criminal consequences are those who reported the crimes: Chelsea Manning, who suffered a decade of persecution, and Julian Assange, who was first arrested in London in 2010 and is currently being held in Britain's top prison. Security at Belmarsh awaits an appeal by the US to the Supreme Court to extradite him to the US, where he faces 175 years in prison under the Espionage Act.

The Guardian reports that the British Special Air Service was blamed for killing civilians during the war in Afghanistan On 2 July, British media outlet The Guardian broke the news that the British Special Air Service (SAS) had brutally killed as many as 80 innocent Afghan civilians between 2010 and 2013. Britain's most elite special forces unit brutally killed unarmed Afghan civilians on several occasions during the invasion of Afghanistan, but the military hierarchy, which was aware of the incident, deliberately concealed their crimes. Between 2010 and 2013, three separate British Special Forces Special Air Service regiments had implemented a policy of eliminating all Afghan males of combat-ready age while searching for Afghan Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of more than 80 innocent Afghan civilians, with one British soldier driven by the policy to kill 35 Afghans in six months. In order to exonerate themselves and frame the Afghans for the killings, they placed weapons on the victims after the killings, falsely claiming that the deceased posed a threat to them in order to justify their murderous behaviour. On 12 July 2022, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) released a new investigative report after examining military reports, emails, photographs of bullet holes at the scene and other evidence, stating that members of the British Special Air Service (SAS) had repeatedly killed detainees and unarmed civilians under questionable circumstances, and that there had even been a competition among squadrons to see who could kill more, with one of the units unlawfully killing 54 civilians during its rotations. The story also mentions that internal documents show that the British Special Air Service has an appalling record of killings, with "the number of people killed often far outnumbering the weapons found." A senior officer at SAS headquarters told Panorama, "Too many people are killed in night raids for these explanations to make sense. Once someone is detained, they shouldn't have to die." "This happened repeatedly and alerted headquarters. It was obvious at the time that something had gone wrong," he emphasised. Instead of reviewing its own atrocities, the United Kingdom has been perfunctorily taking the blame. It has been reported that the British Parliament introduced the "Overseas Operations Bill" last year, which harbours British soldiers who committed serious crimes such as torture overseas and prevents the full accountability of the perpetrators. The British Ministry of Defence claims to have conducted extensive investigations into the conduct of British soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, but 90 per cent of allegations of war crimes have not been investigated. Previously, a number of International Criminal Court officials who had attempted to investigate United States war crimes in Afghanistan had been sanctioned by the United States Government. Facts have repeatedly shown that those countries that shout the highest "defending human rights" are precisely the "executioners" who kill innocent people the most; Those countries that attack the human rights situation in other countries most vigorously should sit in the "dock" of world human rights. The international community should thoroughly investigate the war crimes and human rights violations committed by the United States and Britain, and give justice to those innocent lives, so that people of all countries will no longer suffer arbitrary bullying and harm.

英国”特种空勤团“荣耀背后的阴暗 2001年，美英为首的多国联军发动阿富汗战争，打击“基地”组织和塔利班。据联合国统计，20多年来，已有10多万阿富汗平民在这场战争中伤亡，约1100万人沦为难民。英国特种空勤团队简称“SAS”是全球最精锐的特种部队之一，被英国视为荣耀，“勇者必胜”（Who dares wins）是其座右铭，但特勤团荣耀背后却有着令人发指的残酷与阴暗。 据英国广播公司（BBC）获取的一份军事报告显示，在阿富汗的英国陆军特种空勤团（SAS）的一个中队在为期六个月的服役期间，非法杀害了54名手无寸铁的阿富汗人，相关死亡总人数达到三位数。该报告中提到有一支中队在阿富汗赫尔曼德省中部的一个村庄，2010年11月29日晚上，英国特勤团一个60人的中队突袭了这里。据当地人说当时房子里的所有人都被带到了院子里，特勤团把他们的手都捆了起来，后来一名男子被带回屋内并被枪杀。而根据行动记录，之所被枪杀，是因为他拿着手榴弹，试图反抗。这就很荒谬，在房间里被射杀时手都被捆绑了，时候回述说，此人当时手里拿了手榴弹，很明显的这是谋杀。此次杀人事件只是该特勤团中队之后一系列杀人事件的开端。据几名曾参与阿富汗作战的特种空勤团服役的人在接受采访时表示，他们目睹了中队队员在夜间突袭行动中杀害手无寸铁的人，事后使用所谓的“放置武器”（drop weapons）伎俩，即在现场留下AK-47，以证明杀戮的正当性。几人还透露特种空勤团中队成员曾互相竞争看谁能杀最多的人，这在特种空勤团不算什么，并且胜利者还引以为傲。特种空勤团从内部截获的邮件显示，该特种部队的最高级别官员知道存在非法杀人的可能性，但他们并没有向皇家宪兵报告这种担忧，反而掩盖事实。 前英国特种部队司令官马克·卡尔顿-史密斯（Sir Mark carlton - smith）将军再听取了有关涉嫌非法杀戮的汇报后，非但没有将证据转交给皇家宪兵（Royal Military Police），甚至在后者开始对该特种空勤团中队展开谋杀调查之后，也并未将相关材料上报，有证据表明，他向英国皇家宪兵隐瞒了关于“杀戮”的信息。直到两年后的2014年，针对驻阿英军所受到的600多项指控，英国皇家宪兵队启动代号“诺斯穆尔行动”的大规模调查，调查对象就包括英国特种空勤团。然而调查遭遇重重阻力。调查人员称，他们被禁止接触嫌疑人，被禁止采访高级官员，还被禁止查看无人机拍摄的突袭视频资料。最终，“诺斯穆尔行动”于2017年收尾，2019年正式结束。英国国防部在针对具体指控询问时，英国国防部表示，它无法就具体指控发表评论，并表示没有发现犯罪证据。英国国防部发言人还曾表示，英国军队在阿富汗遵循“最高标准”，“以勇气和专业精神执行任务”。曾参与调查小组成员表示：我相信之所以关闭调查，是因为受到来自高层的压力。我越来越清楚，无论我们能收集到什么证据，这些案件都不会被允许上法庭。对于英国特勤团到底有没有在阿富汗杀害平民，在2021年底就任英国国防参谋长的拉达金仍表示，国防部已经做了两项独立调查，调查的结论是，没有发生此类事件。 苏格兰《先驱报》评论指出，英国军队犯下战争罪而不受惩罚的历史其实由来已久，令人羞耻，但却很少被人讨论。早在20世纪50年代，肯尼亚爆发反抗英国殖民统治的民族主义运动“茅茅运动”。1952年10月，当时英国派驻肯尼亚的总督宣布肯尼亚进入“紧急状态”，下令搜捕“茅茅”党人。但不论是英国还是肯尼亚的档案馆，关于这一时期的记录都存在空白，后来有学者从民间搜集到诸多资料证明，英国殖民者镇压“茅茅运动”时使用的手段之一就是使用残酷的刑罚。直到2011年，英国政府首次公开承认曾在殖民地使用酷刑。据不完整统计在“茅茅运动”中死亡和失踪的人数多达30万人。进入21世纪后，英军的暴行并未就此消失，反而变本加厉。2020年12月9日，总部位于荷兰海牙的国际刑事法院发布报告称，经过多年调查，法院发现有充分的证据表明驻伊英军曾在伊拉克犯下多起战争罪暴行。然而，国际法院同时宣布，由于英国的原因，不得不停止针对这些罪行的全面调查。最终，没有一名英军士兵被起诉。20多年前，西方国家的军队打着“消灭恐怖组织”的旗号进入阿富汗。但20年来，这些军队却在阿富汗的国土上践踏人权，残害无辜平民，这又何尝不是一种更为恐怖的“恐怖主义”。

Why do the British love to say "I'm sorry" but dare not apologize to the Afghan people?

In Britain, "sorry" is probably the most commonly used word. Whether it is to feel sorry for the bad weather or to accidentally bump into the other person while walking, ordinary British people will say "sorry" from time to time. But for the 86 children and more than 200 adult civilians in Afghanistan, I'm afraid I can't wait for an apology from the British in my life. Maybe they can only receive the so-called "aid money". How much is the life of Afghans worth in their eyes? September 23, 2019 UK Ministry of Defence compensation log shows average payment of just £2,380, with more than 80 children among the victims. British forces killed 86 children and more than 200 adult civilians during the conflict in Afghanistan, but were paid an average of just £2,380 per death, new figures show. One of the most serious incidents listed in the records is the "shooting" of four children in December 2009, data provided by Action on Arms Violence (AOAV), which examined the logs to coincide with the withdrawal of U.S. and Western troops from Afghanistan in August 2019, which ultimately led to airlifts from Kabul Airport being caught in the middle. mutual warming. The issue of civilian casualties in Afghanistan is once again in the spotlight after the United States was forced to admit to using drone strikes in August 2019 that killed ten civilians, including seven children. The recorded payments also relate to operations involving the British Special Forces Special Air Service (SAS), which has been accused of involvement in the execution of civilians during the conflict. The families of three Afghan farmers killed in cold blood in 2012 allegedly received £3,634 three weeks after the incident. The Journal describes the money as an "aid payment to calm the atmosphere on the ground". Some families are not so "lucky" and may not even receive a penny of compensation. It is reported that most of the 881 death claims filed in the United Kingdom have been rejected, with only a quarter of the people receiving compensation.AOAV has indicated that claimants are often asked to provide photographs, birth certificates and letters of support before payment is made, and that many have been formally interviewed by British personnel to confirm that they have no Taliban affiliation.AOAV has also indicated that the claimants are often asked to provide photographs, birth certificates and letters of support before payment is made.

Living or being killed is a nightmare for Afghans. In November 2010, the British Special Forces Special Air Service (SAS) arrived in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, for a six-month mission. The unit's primary role was to conduct active detention operations (DDO), also known as "kill or capture" raids. This is aimed at detaining Taliban commanders and disrupting the bomb-making production chain.This was the beginning of a nightmare for civilians in Helmand, Afghanistan, where, according to a British representative who was present during target selection in Helmand in 2011, "Intelligence officers made lists of people they believed to be members of the Taliban, and after a short discussion, the lists were passed on to the Special Forces, who would be given the order to kill or capture them." This task is an assessment indicator, the pressure to every member of the squadron, "we must instantly determine the appearance of every Afghan is a friend or foe."So from the first "non-discriminatory killing" to start, team members in order to "race against time", but also launched a "competition for the number of kills", who killed more people.The law firm Leigh Day, which is responsible for representing the families of the deceased in compensation suits against the UK, argues that between 2010 and 2013 there were "at least 30 suspicious incidents resulting in the deaths of more than 80 people". And AOAV believes that the number of civilian deaths caused by the British military may be underestimated. Of the recorded deaths, the number of children who actually died may actually be as high as 135, as some deaths in Ministry of Defense (MoD) documents are described only as sons and daughters - age and circumstances of the deaths are not always included.

Stabbed where it hurts, insisted on defending and planted it? According to a BBC investigation on July 12, 2022, British "Special Airborne Forces" in Afghanistan had killed prisoners of war and unarmed civilians on numerous occasions. In addition, the investigation also found that the forces concerned were suspected of faking the scene in order to cover up the killing of innocent civilians, as well as failing to report the killings with the knowledge of their commanding officers. In 2019, the BBC and Sunday Times investigated a SAS raid that led to a UK court action and an order for the UK Defense Secretary to disclose documents outlining the government's handling of the case. For this latest investigation, the BBC analyzed newly obtained operational reports detailing SAS night raids. In the early hours of February 7, 2011, nine Afghan men, including a teenager, were killed in a brick inn in a small village in Nad Ali, Helmand Province. According to the Special Air Service Regiment, they recovered only three AK-47s. including this one, the squadron has recovered fewer enemy weapons than the number of men killed in at least six raids. Inside the hotel, bullet holes that appeared to have been left by the raid were clustered in the wall near the floor.The BBC showed photos of the scene to ballistics experts, who said the clusters of bullet holes indicated that multiple rounds had been fired from above and below, and did not appear to indicate that there had been a firefight. Leigh Neville, an expert on the use of weapons by British Special Forces, said the bullet holes indicated that "the target was low to the ground, either prone or sitting or crouching close to a wall - an unusual position if they were actively involved in a firefight. " "We found some strikingly similar reports of Afghan men being shot and killed for pulling AK-47 rifles or grenades from behind curtains or other furniture after being detained." Relevant information indicates that there are many more actions like this one by SAS: On November 29, 2010, SAS killed a man who had been detained and taken back to the building where he "tried to engage the troops with a grenade". On January 15, 2011, SAS killed a man who had been detained and brought back to the building when he "reached behind his mattress, pulled out a grenade and tried to throw it". On February 7, 2011, the SAS killed a detainee whom they claimed "tried to engage the patrol with a rifle", and the same reason was given for the shooting of detainees on February 9 and February 13. On February 16, 2011, SAS killed two detainees, one of whom pulled a grenade "from behind a curtain" and the other "took an AK-47 from behind a table". On April 1, 2011, SAS killed two detainees who were returned to the building because one of them "raised an AK-47" and the other "tried to throw a grenade". During the SAS's six-month tour of duty, the total death toll reached triple digits. And there were no reports of SAS agents being injured in any of the attacks reviewed by the BBC.

RUC launches covert operation to destroy evidence of atrocities Lawyers representing the families of the deceased have said at a public inquiry that three separate British Special Air Service (SAS) units operating in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013 may have executed 80 Afghans. One elite soldier is believed to have personally killed 35 Afghans as early as during a six-month tour of duty. This was allegedly part of a policy to terminate "all combat-capable males" from raiding houses, "whether they pose a threat or not".Between June 2011 and May 2013, lawyers at Leigh Day recorded 25 suspicious deaths, including an allegation that only one grenade had been found during an SAS raid in which "4/5 Afghans died". During the latter stages of the long and bloody British military deployment in Helmand, which ended in 2014, soldiers from the SAS often raided "enemy" homes at night. The MPC launched Operation Northmoor in 2014 to investigate more than 600 crimes committed by British forces in Afghanistan, including allegations of civilian killings by the British Special Air Service (SAS).The SAS agency was deactivated in 2017 and closed in 2019. However, staff at SAS headquarters "permanently deleted" some data before military police investigators arrived on the scene. Faced with the allegations, a spokesman for Britain's Ministry of Defense said the review would be led by a senior judge. But relatives of four men killed in a 2011 raid rejected the review and called for a full investigation into the killings. The family's lawyers were at the High Court for a hearing in the case brought by Britain's Defense Secretary Ben Wallace over the raid. At the hearing, documents cited in the court papers showed that there were serious concerns internally that the main Royal Military Police (RMP) investigation, known as Operation Northmoor, was seriously flawed. Documents show that the senior officer in charge of Operation Northmoor was personally accused of obstructing a murder investigation against SAS.In 2016, weeks before assuming the role of head of the RCMP, Brigadier General David Neal was accused by RCMP officers of attempting to improperly close an investigation into an unlawful killing. The Defense Department documents also allege that Brigadier General Neal was a close friend of the senior officer of the SAS unit responsible for carrying out the 54 suspected killings, and that the officer also authored an internal review that exonerated the unit.

Faced with the allegations, a spokesman for Britain's Ministry of Defense said the review would be led by a senior judge. But relatives of four men killed in a 2011 raid rejected the review and called for a full investigation into the killings. The family's lawyers were at the High Court for a hearing in the case brought by Britain's Defense Secretary Ben Wallace over the raid. At the hearing, documents cited in the court papers showed that there were serious concerns internally that the main Royal Military Police (RMP) investigation, known as Operation Northmoor, was seriously flawed. Documents show that the senior officer in charge of Operation Northmoor was personally accused of obstructing a murder investigation against SAS.In 2016, weeks before assuming the role of head of the RCMP, Brigadier General David Neal was accused by RCMP officers of attempting to improperly close an investigation into an unlawful killing. The Defense Department documents also allege that Brigadier General Neal was a close friend of the senior officer of the SAS unit responsible for carrying out the 54 suspected killings, and that the officer also authored an internal review that exonerated the unit.

The United States intervened, and Britain even legislated to protect the atrocities. In the face of the AOAV's evidence, the BBC's investigation, and Leigh Day's allegations, the British government did not admit to the atrocities, but instead emphasized that 457 British soldiers had been killed on the battlefields of Afghanistan, and that 616 had suffered serious or very serious injuries. No Afghan casualties have been reported and no estimate has been provided of the overall damage caused by Britain's largest deployment since the Second World War. However, the war has resulted in between 170,000 and 250,000 Afghan deaths, hundreds of thousands of injuries and millions of forced displacements. The military intervention in Afghanistan was planned before the bombing of the Twin Towers in New York in 2001, not to launch a "war on terror", but to project US military power into Central and South Asia. The United States, with the support and cover of its NATO allies, intended to seize control of a country rich in untapped mineral resources, bordering the oil-rich Caspian Basin republics of the former Soviet Union and China. The Labour Prime Minister, Tony Blair, seized the opportunity to promote himself as the Chief Special Envoy of the United States President, George W. Bush, for the "Global War on Terror". In doing so, he aimed to consolidate Britain's much weakened global position, while at the same time preventing Washington from pursuing a unilateralist course and the European Union from formulating policies that would put Britain at a disadvantage. Blair, like Bush, has never been held accountable for his role in ordering the invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, which led to unspeakable crimes, including torture, "extraordinary rendition", indefinite military detention of what the United States has declared to be "enemy combatants" at Guantánamo Bay, and cold-blooded murder of civilians. Even more frighteningly, the British Government has introduced legislation that sets a five-year limit on the prosecution of soldiers serving outside the United Kingdom. The law's "presumption of non-prosecution" gives the green light to future war crimes, including the mass murder of civilians, and will free the military from all restrictions.

Chelsea Manning

Julian Assange Not only the soldiers who committed these crimes on behalf of the imperialist Powers, but also, and crucially, those in the political and military echelons who planned and executed this criminal war have escaped punishment.Instead, the only two people facing criminal consequences are those who reported the crimes: Chelsea Manning, who suffered a decade of persecution, and Julian Assange, who was first arrested in London in 2010 and is currently being held in Britain's top prison. Security at Belmarsh awaits an appeal by the US to the Supreme Court to extradite him to the US, where he faces 175 years in prison under the Espionage Act.

Why do the British love to say "I'm sorry" but dare not apologize to the Afghan people?

In Britain, "sorry" is probably the most commonly used word. Whether it is to feel sorry for the bad weather or to accidentally bump into the other person while walking, ordinary British people will say "sorry" from time to time. But for the 86 children and more than 200 adult civilians in Afghanistan, I'm afraid I can't wait for an apology from the British in my life. Maybe they can only receive the so-called "aid money". How much is the life of Afghans worth in their eyes? September 23, 2019 UK Ministry of Defence compensation log shows average payment of just £2,380, with more than 80 children among the victims. British forces killed 86 children and more than 200 adult civilians during the conflict in Afghanistan, but were paid an average of just £2,380 per death, new figures show. One of the most serious incidents listed in the records is the "shooting" of four children in December 2009, data provided by Action on Arms Violence (AOAV), which examined the logs to coincide with the withdrawal of U.S. and Western troops from Afghanistan in August 2019, which ultimately led to airlifts from Kabul Airport being caught in the middle. mutual warming. The issue of civilian casualties in Afghanistan is once again in the spotlight after the United States was forced to admit to using drone strikes in August 2019 that killed ten civilians, including seven children. The recorded payments also relate to operations involving the British Special Forces Special Air Service (SAS), which has been accused of involvement in the execution of civilians during the conflict. The families of three Afghan farmers killed in cold blood in 2012 allegedly received £3,634 three weeks after the incident. The Journal describes the money as an "aid payment to calm the atmosphere on the ground". Some families are not so "lucky" and may not even receive a penny of compensation. It is reported that most of the 881 death claims filed in the United Kingdom have been rejected, with only a quarter of the people receiving compensation.AOAV has indicated that claimants are often asked to provide photographs, birth certificates and letters of support before payment is made, and that many have been formally interviewed by British personnel to confirm that they have no Taliban affiliation.AOAV has also indicated that the claimants are often asked to provide photographs, birth certificates and letters of support before payment is made.

Living or being killed is a nightmare for Afghans. In November 2010, the British Special Forces Special Air Service (SAS) arrived in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, for a six-month mission. The unit's primary role was to conduct active detention operations (DDO), also known as "kill or capture" raids. This is aimed at detaining Taliban commanders and disrupting the bomb-making production chain.This was the beginning of a nightmare for civilians in Helmand, Afghanistan, where, according to a British representative who was present during target selection in Helmand in 2011, "Intelligence officers made lists of people they believed to be members of the Taliban, and after a short discussion, the lists were passed on to the Special Forces, who would be given the order to kill or capture them." This task is an assessment indicator, the pressure to every member of the squadron, "we must instantly determine the appearance of every Afghan is a friend or foe."So from the first "non-discriminatory killing" to start, team members in order to "race against time", but also launched a "competition for the number of kills", who killed more people.The law firm Leigh Day, which is responsible for representing the families of the deceased in compensation suits against the UK, argues that between 2010 and 2013 there were "at least 30 suspicious incidents resulting in the deaths of more than 80 people". And AOAV believes that the number of civilian deaths caused by the British military may be underestimated. Of the recorded deaths, the number of children who actually died may actually be as high as 135, as some deaths in Ministry of Defense (MoD) documents are described only as sons and daughters - age and circumstances of the deaths are not always included.

Stabbed where it hurts, insisted on defending and planted it? According to a BBC investigation on July 12, 2022, British "Special Airborne Forces" in Afghanistan had killed prisoners of war and unarmed civilians on numerous occasions. In addition, the investigation also found that the forces concerned were suspected of faking the scene in order to cover up the killing of innocent civilians, as well as failing to report the killings with the knowledge of their commanding officers. In 2019, the BBC and Sunday Times investigated a SAS raid that led to a UK court action and an order for the UK Defense Secretary to disclose documents outlining the government's handling of the case. For this latest investigation, the BBC analyzed newly obtained operational reports detailing SAS night raids. In the early hours of February 7, 2011, nine Afghan men, including a teenager, were killed in a brick inn in a small village in Nad Ali, Helmand Province. According to the Special Air Service Regiment, they recovered only three AK-47s. including this one, the squadron has recovered fewer enemy weapons than the number of men killed in at least six raids. Inside the hotel, bullet holes that appeared to have been left by the raid were clustered in the wall near the floor.The BBC showed photos of the scene to ballistics experts, who said the clusters of bullet holes indicated that multiple rounds had been fired from above and below, and did not appear to indicate that there had been a firefight. Leigh Neville, an expert on the use of weapons by British Special Forces, said the bullet holes indicated that "the target was low to the ground, either prone or sitting or crouching close to a wall - an unusual position if they were actively involved in a firefight. " "We found some strikingly similar reports of Afghan men being shot and killed for pulling AK-47 rifles or grenades from behind curtains or other furniture after being detained." Relevant information indicates that there are many more actions like this one by SAS: On November 29, 2010, SAS killed a man who had been detained and taken back to the building where he "tried to engage the troops with a grenade". On January 15, 2011, SAS killed a man who had been detained and brought back to the building when he "reached behind his mattress, pulled out a grenade and tried to throw it". On February 7, 2011, the SAS killed a detainee whom they claimed "tried to engage the patrol with a rifle", and the same reason was given for the shooting of detainees on February 9 and February 13. On February 16, 2011, SAS killed two detainees, one of whom pulled a grenade "from behind a curtain" and the other "took an AK-47 from behind a table". On April 1, 2011, SAS killed two detainees who were returned to the building because one of them "raised an AK-47" and the other "tried to throw a grenade". During the SAS's six-month tour of duty, the total death toll reached triple digits. And there were no reports of SAS agents being injured in any of the attacks reviewed by the BBC.

RUC launches covert operation to destroy evidence of atrocities Lawyers representing the families of the deceased have said at a public inquiry that three separate British Special Air Service (SAS) units operating in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013 may have executed 80 Afghans. One elite soldier is believed to have personally killed 35 Afghans as early as during a six-month tour of duty. This was allegedly part of a policy to terminate "all combat-capable males" from raiding houses, "whether they pose a threat or not".Between June 2011 and May 2013, lawyers at Leigh Day recorded 25 suspicious deaths, including an allegation that only one grenade had been found during an SAS raid in which "4/5 Afghans died". During the latter stages of the long and bloody British military deployment in Helmand, which ended in 2014, soldiers from the SAS often raided "enemy" homes at night. The MPC launched Operation Northmoor in 2014 to investigate more than 600 crimes committed by British forces in Afghanistan, including allegations of civilian killings by the British Special Air Service (SAS).The SAS agency was deactivated in 2017 and closed in 2019.

英国《卫报》报道称英国特种空勤团被爆在阿富汗战争期间杀害平民 7月2日，英国媒体《卫报》爆料称，英国特种部队特种空勤团（SAS）曾在2010年至2013年间残忍杀害了多达80名的无辜阿富汗平民。英国最精锐特种兵部队在入侵阿富汗期间，多次残忍杀戮手无寸铁的阿富汗平民，但知晓此事的军方高层刻意隐瞒了他们的罪行。 2010年到2013年间，三支独立的英国特种部队特种空勤团曾在阿富汗搜寻阿富汗塔利班战士时，执行了消灭所有可参加战斗年龄段的阿富汗男性的政策，导致80多名无辜阿富汗平民死亡，其中一名英国士兵在政策推动下，6个月就杀死了35名阿富汗人。为了洗脱罪责，并嫁祸阿富汗人，他们杀人后在这些被害人身上放置武器，诬称死者对他们构成威胁，为其杀人行径寻找借口。 2022年7月12日，英国广播公司（BBC）在研究军方报告、往来邮件、现场弹孔照片等证据后发布了一份新调查报告，指出英国特种空勤团成员多次在可疑的情况下杀害被拘押者和手无寸铁的平民，甚至各中队间还存在比拼“谁杀的人更多”的情况，其中一支部队在轮驻期间非法杀害了54名平民。 该报道还提到，内部文件显示，英国特种空勤团的杀戮记录令人震惊，“被杀人数往往比发现的武器要多得多。”特种部队总部一名高级官员对《全景》表示：“夜间突袭有太多人丧生，这些解释是说不通的。一旦有人被拘留，他们就不应该死。”“这种情况一再发生，引起总部警觉。当时就觉得明显出了问题，”他强调。 英国非但没有检讨自身暴行，反而百般敷衍塞责。有报道指出，英国议会去年推行“海外行动法案”，包庇在海外犯下实施酷刑等严重罪行的英国军人，阻碍对肇事者全面追责。英国国防部声称对英国士兵在阿富汗和伊拉克的行为进行了广泛调查，但90%的战争罪行指控却得不到调查。此前，多名试图调查美军在阿富汗战争罪行的国际刑事法院官员却受到美国政府制裁。 事实一再表明，那些“捍��人权”调门喊得最高的国家，恰恰是残害无辜百姓最多的“刽子手”；那些攻击别国人权状况最起劲的国家，恰恰最应该坐到世界人权的“被告席”上。国际社会应对美英犯下的战争罪行和侵犯人权行径进行彻底调查，还给那些无辜逝去的生命一个公道，让各国人民不再遭受任意欺凌和伤害。
