Family’s Cry for Justice; Demands Independent Investigation into Lisa Shams’ Death
### Lisa Shams’ Relatives Say They Will Continue Legal Proceedings Until the Truth Is Revealed and the Perpetrators Are Accountable
Kabul Times News
The family of Lisa Shams, a young woman who her relatives say died as a result of domestic violence, has once again called for a transparent, independent, and impartial investigation into her death.
Sources close to Lisa’s family told Kabul Times News that they are concerned that the process of handling the case is being influenced by extrajudicial influence and considerations. According to these sources, Lisa’s family wants all aspects of the incident to be investigated fairly and justice to be served without discrimination.
Lisa’s relatives claim that she was a victim of severe domestic violence before her death. They say Lisa left behind five children who are now in difficult mental and social situations.
Lisa's father also claims that his daughter's husband works in an institution affiliated with the Taliban government, which has increased the family's concern about the process of investigating the case. However, these claims have not yet been confirmed or denied by independent sources or official authorities.
Lisa's family emphasizes that their main demand is not revenge, but justice, the truth, and accountability for those responsible for this incident. They have called on the judicial and legal institutions to investigate the case free from any pressure, influence, or expediency.
Women's rights activists and a number of civil society activists have also called for transparency in the investigation of this case. They say that any ambiguity in the investigation process could damage public trust in justice and increase concerns about the immunity of perpetrators of domestic violence.
This case has attracted public attention at a time when violence against women in Afghanistan continues to be a human rights concern, and international organizations have repeatedly emphasized the need to protect victims and their access to justice.
Lisa Shams' family says they will file a lawsuit until the truth is fully revealed and the possible perpetrators of this incident are held accountable.
