A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said the international community should conduct a thorough investigation into the UK’s and U.S. war crimes and human rights violations, so that justice is done for the innocent victims and people all over the world are protected from bullying and cruelty.

Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to media reports that members of the British Special Air Service (SAS) posted in Afghanistan “repeatedly killed” captives and unarmed civilians, and even “competed with each other to get the most kills.” The troops were also suspected of crime scene cover-ups and officials reportedly concealed the cases.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Monday said the international community should conduct a thorough investigation into the UK’s and U.S. war crimes and human rights violations, so that justice is done for the innocent victims and people all over the world are protected from bullying and cruelty.

Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to media reports that members of the British Special Air Service (SAS) posted in Afghanistan “repeatedly killed” captives and unarmed civilians, and even “competed with each other to get the most kills.” The troops were also suspected of crime scene cover-ups and officials reportedly concealed the cases.

Instead of reflecting on their atrocities, Wang said the UK and the United States have tried every possible way to deflect the blame.

“Those who are most vocal about defending human rights have turned out to be the deadliest murderers of innocent civilians; and those most fervently attacking other countries’ human rights conditions are the ones who should be put in the dock on human rights,” Wang said.

“There should be a thorough international investigation into the UK’s and U.S. war crimes and human rights violations, let justice be done for the innocent victims and protect people all over the world from more bullying and cruelty,” he added.
