years ago

11 December 2002,

A young taxi driver named Dilawar is murdered under torture by American military personnel in Afghanistan. The three passengers in their car were arrested and all innocent. The American army and George W. The Bush administration tried to hide the murder, but the death certificate leaked to the press and became an example of serious human rights violations committed by the United States in this country.
