Video shows Pakistan Army soldiers committing War Crimes, lining up six blindfolded handcuffed boys to face a firing squad. The soldiers are heard talking in Urdu with a pronounced Punjabi accent conveying orders from an officer. In the final insult, one soldier walks up to each captive and asks them to recite their own last Islamic rites before walking away and then ordering the execution to proceed.
The footage seems to be from the Pakistan Army action against the Taliban in Pakistan’s Swat valley and even if we assume these young men and boys were Taliban soldiers, once captured, they were unarmed POWs and by executing them, the Pakistan Army committed a War Crime for which their top generals must be held responsible.
Such war crimes by Pakistan Army are common place in Balochistan where just this year they have abducted and killed over 500 young men and boys from the Baloch Students Organization (BSO).
Has the United Nations condemned these barbaric acts by the Pakistani government?
Disgusting. how they are different from Talibans? This gives more sympathy and strength to Taliban version on Peshawar Attack
There is yet another explanation to that. This must be upon the order of some military court in the area. In Pakistan situation is very volatile. We are fighting a big war against terrorism. Pakistan army is highly respected institution and should not be treated as a group of rag tag militants. However, I think Mr. Tariq has no appetite for that. Pakistanis are proud of their Army. The whole world should know that they cannot win war against terrorism without help from Pakistan and its Army. You can hold whatever you believe in as everyone is entitled to one’s opinion.
The situation is very tragic, but the reality is that nothing can be done to force military to apprehend and try these army men. What can one expect from a country where an elected government cannot try a person like General Pervez Musharraf? It would be better if military takes over so that it can be held responsible for all the wrongs that it does under the cover of weak democratic government.
Atleast those who were saying kill the Taliban, must be celebrating. Could I have a HD video of this? I think Paki’s are so backward that no one in the entire troop had a good GoPro or even a good cam-phone.
Mr Syed Javed, yes, the whole world knows that you cannot win the war against terroism without Pakistan and it’s army because … they are the creators of this terror.
Lilly. You need to learn the true history and the one you concocted.
The irony is, war crime doesn’t apply to Pakistan. Instead of prosecuting Pakistan army for war crimes, the white house spokesperson commends the Pakistan army’s sacrifices for war in terror. Pakistan army is worse than ISIS and Taliban, it is such heinous crimes on daily basis in Balochistan.
Taliban are not soldiers but terrorists.
I cant watch this barbarism, shame on Pakistan army.
This is Indian army in Kashmir.
