A family member of a boy killed on the Turkish border has confirmed his identity to Afghanistan International. Sharif Nazri, the boy's brother, told The Afghan International on Tuesday October 19 that he identified Reza Nazri among the eight bodies found on the Iran-Turkey border.
Reza Nazri's brother told the Afghanistan International on Tuesday the 19th of Aqrab that he recognized Reza among the victims. He said Reza is the last person seen in the released video of the bodies and appears to be the youngest victim of this incident.
Afghanistan International has seen documents showing that Reza Nazri is the son of Ali Chaman Nazri, a resident of Bamyan district, who was born on the second day of Mizan 2008 (September 24, 2009) and is considered a child under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Sharif Nazri said that he did not know about the fate of his brother. He asked the authorities of Turkey, Iran and the Taliban to help his family move Reza's body to Kabul so they could bury him. Mr. Nazri said that these bodies are now in the city of Van, Turkey, and the families do not have access to the bodies of their children.
