| | | | Sawari’s trial is the first for alleged war crimes in Afghanistan where successive regimes have been accused of abuses in 25 years of war.
Human Rights NGOs have criticised the trial for falling short of basic standards of fairness. Sarwari is said to have had difficulty keeping an attorney because lawyers are pressured not to represent him. The prosecutors are said to have presented only scant evidence. Witnesses heard before the Court have reportedly spoken at length about what they heard from relatives or friends, but none had seen Sarwari commit the crimes. | |    | |  |  | | last time seen : | | | Kabul (Afghanistan) | | | judgement period : | | | 26.12.2005 - 23.02.2006 | | | charges : | | | Other | | | profile last modified : | | | 12.04.2006 |
