Incident description
On July 23, 2016, two suicide bombers denoted their explosives among the protesters at Dehmazang Square in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. The protesters, who were primarily Hazaras, were part of the Enlightenment Movement. They were protesting against the diversion of the TUTAP mega power project which would cause the project to bypass Hazara-dominated areas. At least 84 protesters lost their lives and 260-400 others were injured. The Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISKP), the regional branch of ISIS, took credit for the attack. However, ISKP later refuted their involvement in the attack.
The Enlightenment Movement, also known as Junbesh-e Roshnayie, was a grassroots civil disobedience movement started by Hazaras in Afghanistan in response to a change in the Fichtner GmbH & Co. KG proposed Energy Supply Improvement Investment Program, unofficially called TUTAP project plans. The change in the project plans would cause it to bypass Hazara regions. The move was seen as perpetuating long-standing anti-Hazara discrimination. Throughout 2016 and 2017, the Enlightenment Movement coordinated large-scale demonstrations against discrimination both domestically in Afghanistan and abroad.

Location of the incident: Dehmazang, Kabul City
My son was born in 1992 in Maidan Wardak province, Hesa-e 2 of Behsud, in the Kajab region, in the village of Mirazar. He attended school there up to grade 6, after which we moved to Kabul. He attended the Ghazi High School in Karte Char for three years, then we moved to Barchi. After that, he attended the Homayoun Shahid High School where he graduated from grade 12. He got his diploma from the same school. He eagerly prepared for the university entrance exam at the Nazar Zalmai educational center. After passing the entrance exam, he was accepted at the University of Education, in the Faculty of Psychology. During his studies, he was teaching at the Ibn-e Sina University. My son had deliberately participated in the Light Movement demonstration for justice and was unfortunately martyred in the tragic incident on the 23rd of July. He was martyred at the age of 24 for the sake of justice and defending his rights.
