Abstract
- Villagers in Uruzgan, Afghanistan, have accused foreign forces, including Australian soldiers, of burning five men alive after mistaking them for Taliban members. The incident allegedly occurred in 2007, and locals claim that the men's hands were tied before they were set on fire in a car. The legacy of Australian forces in Uruzgan is still deeply felt, with many villagers associating them with reckless bombings and civilian casualties. The Australian government has established a compensation scheme for war crimes, but it is unclear how it will be accessed by those in Uruzgan. [Extracted from the article]
