Our colleague and acting head of @AfghanistanIHRC office, Abdul Samad Amiri, was kidnapped by Taliban on his way Kabul to Ghor in Jalreez area of Maidan Wardak province. We received the extremely shocking news this morning that he was shot last night.
Our colleagues organized for Mr Amiri’s body to be carried to Kabul and are now with the family. The commission is in mourning and we are all extremely shocked. We are investigating the details and @AfghanistanIHRC will soon release a statement.
We learned about the tragedy earlier today but kept asking our media colleagues for patience as the family was not informed, including a family member who lives abroad. I am traveling and am shaken by pain and grief as we collectively process this horrible news.
