Gavin Jenkins, a senior general in the British Army, faces accusations of concealing war crimes committed by British forces in Afghanistan, despite having received documented evidence.
According to reports from British media, in March 2011, an officer informed General Jenkins that a member of the British Special Air Forces had confessed to the unlawful killing of unarmed individuals and detainees during aggressive nighttime operations. General Jenkins chose to withhold this evidence, citing the need for a comprehensive investigation.
Following media coverage and public outcry regarding the night attacks by British special forces on Afghan citizens, allegations of murder are currently under official investigation, led by a judge in the British Royal Court.
