In spring 2004, five employees of MSF were killed in their car, while on the way to their base from a rural clinic in north Afghanistan. Now the court in Kabul has acquitted two murder suspects, Abdul Latif and Shampaq, yet sentenced them respectively to one and five years in prison for "failing to prevent the killings". MSF does not understand the meaning of the sentence, and fears that it could be the end of the investigations.
