"They were killed in front of people and their bodies were hanged for hours in the squares which are usually very crowded places where many people, including children are there. I didn't get a specific example of how children react, but I know they've been severely shocked by seeing such heartbreaking scenes. Fear, panic and depression are currently on the faces of all Afghan children. When I travelled to the Torkham border, I felt very strongly the fear, panic, depression and frustration in people's faces, especially children."
