Taliban: We are monitoring the condition of an Afghan child injured in Moscow

To the IEA Embassy in Moscow has been instructed to conduct an investigation through all diplomatic and legal channels and regularly inform the Ministry about the progress of the case. Hafiz Abdullah Yasir, head of the Afghan mission in Russia, visited the injured baby in the hospital. In addition to providing financial assistance sent by the ministry, he assured the family of full support.

The statement stressed that since the suspect is in custody, the Ministry calls on the Russian authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that the perpetrator is brought to justice in accordance with the law.

A terrible case was caught on surveillance cameras in Sheremetyevo on June 23: when a visitor from Belarus was next to the boy, he suddenly grabbed him and threw him forcefully on the concrete floor.
