During the 10 December, 60th Anniversary of UDHR, the AIHRC also celebrated the National Day of Human Rights Violations in Afghanistan, which was named based on the Action Plan entitled Peace, Justice, and Reconciliation by the Afghan Government and endorsement of the President.

Victims were provided a chance to talk and share their stories of suffering and pains with the audiences. The victims were victimized during the Communist Regime, Mujahhid Time, and the Taliban Period. One of the victims lost her three fingers, as it was difficult for a fighter to quickly take out a golden ring from her hand. Her fingers were therefore cut by a machete as a price for the golden ring.

Another victim lost his family member, his brother, and still waiting to receive any news. Cannot organize a condolence ceremony to make sure that he was not alive any more, as they have no any information about him. It is almost over twenty years, since the Communist regime, they wait for news to come.

A young Maulawi, who is now very much traumatized, lost his eye during the Taliban period. He was severely treated and tortured by Taliban. He himself is a Pashtun.

The President acknowledged that still there are human rights violations going on, and in the coming future it might not be possible to deal with the transitional justice.

Many audiences expressed their demands for justice and tougher stance from the President towards warlords and human rights violators.

Three National human rights awards were presented to Mrs. Horia Mosadiq for her dedicate to Human Rights and Transitional Justice, Mawla jan Shinwari for banning BAD for any dispute resolution by Jirgas under his constituency, and martyred Ajmal Naqshbandi for his innocence and sincerity & committed media work and firmness for freedom of expression.
