Afghan-Turk Boys High School in Shibirghan was raided by members of the Afghan security forces under the command of Rashid Dostum, First Vice President of Afghanistan early Saturday morning and detained Turkish teachers, dozens of students and their parents in order to seize the school at the request of Turkish government led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The school has reportedly been surrounded by the militias of the Dostum who do not allow anyone to enter or leave the School premises. According to the school administration, no legal justification has been provided so far.
A reliable source reported that the Governor of Jowzjan province together with the Police Chief will join the raid on both Afghan-Turk Boys High School and Afghan-Turk Girls High School in Shibirghan city at 6:00am local time on Saturday.
It was said that the Governor of Jowzjan was in Kabul over the past three days to coordinate the raid with the Office of First Vice President Rashid Dostum and the Turkish embassy. It was also reported that the raids have been approved and supported by the Office of First Vice President, who recently returned from Turkey.
The Turkish government has increasingly put pressure on the government of Afghanistan to either shut down or transfer ownership of the Afghan-Turk Schools to the Maarif Foundation which is affiliated to and supported by the Turkish government.
Turkish officials and the Turkish Embassy in Kabul have continuously targeted the schools and its staff over the past few years. The unlawful and politically motivated measures taken within recent months against the Afghan-Turk Schools have been perpetuated by the Turkish government.
The Afghan-Turk Boys High School and Afghan-Turk Girls High School in Shibirghan city have been operated Turkish and local businessmen affiliated with the Gülen movement.
