They are using differently a tactic of poisoning young girls in the primary schools. The goal is to horrify and discourage afghan families who are sending their young children (girls) to school.

The Civil Society and Human Rights Network condemn this inhuman action with the strongest possible words.
- The Civil Society and Human Rights Network would like to call upon all parties involved in conflicts in Afghanistan to respect the rights of innocent people and not use civilians for their political purposes. All the parties should respect the Geneva Conventions of 1949 on the role of military actions and respect of civilians during the wars and conflicts.
