Last weekend, we delivered our petition for reform of the Afghan Local Police directly to officials at the donor conference in Tokyo. While we did not see clear donor conditionality on ALP reform, Secretary Clinton and other foreign ministers spoke out in support of women’s rights, fighting corruption and strengthening the rule of law. As the deadline has passed, this campaign is now closed. But our community will continue to look for ways to support peace and justice in Afghanistan and the region.
The teenager raped by ALP officers, has continued to see progress in her case -- the suspects were detained several days ago, and the case has been transferred to Kabul where officials at the highest levels of government have called for justice. This progress occurred before our ALP reform campaign was launched however, and was due to efforts by other media and organizations.
