On Thursday (Aug 28) when few families were returning home from a wedding ceremony at Paghman district, a few armed men wearing police uniforms stopped them. They took both men and women to a place away from the road and gang-raped the women in front of their male family members. Police claimed to have arrested seven of them and have said that according to the arrested criminals they were eight in number, one of them are still missing. In addition to rape, they took the gold that those women were wearing and money.

Police Chief General Zahir Zahir said, "Among these arrested convicts few of them were also arrested before for committing serious crimes".

It's not the only tragic incident that has disturbed the people of Afghanistan rather such tragedies happens on a daily basis and the culprits are not receiving the real punishments, they often are set free by the judges at the session court, High Court of Supreme Court by taking heavy bribes or receiving a telephone call from someone powerful. Unfortunately these institutions that people look up to for justice have changed into bribery centers and prisons changed into producing professional criminals.

This has now been proven to the entire Muslim Ummah that these subservient rulers, Democracy and the manmade laws are the prime reasons of corruption and miseries. However, the Ummah has realized its façade, fraudulent nature and is rising up to change it.

Hizb ut Tahrir is striving day and night to bring the Ummah and its energies under its sincere leadership in order to resume the Islamic way of life by establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah. Only Islam and its ruling system Khilafah "Caliphate" will put an end to such shocking and heinous crimes, as well as will eradicate corruption, foreign invasions, killings and looting by the powerful criminal elites. The Khilafah "Caliphate" State will give exemplary punishments to professional criminals, so that to cleanse society of such shameful and monstrous crimes and criminals, unlike the present three-fold judicial system that paves way for crimes by accepting bribes and the law being only for the weak and poor.
