Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The ceremony was held with the presence of families, children and civil society activists. The participants, holding school bags, expressed their solidarity with the victims of the incident.
The organizers considered this protest movement an attempt to condemn the perpetrators of the heartbreaking event, keep the memory of the victims alive and draw public attention to the human dimensions of the disaster.
The march began in the Lange Voorhout area of The Hague, and the participants returned to the starting point after passing through the Turnuvelveld and Lange Pfeifferberg areas. The atmosphere of silence prevailing at the ceremony and the strong presence of children gave it a deeply emotional atmosphere.
One of the outstanding features of the ceremony was the symbolic leadership of the march by children, which, according to the organizers, was done with the aim of teaching the concept of empathy, remembrance and social responsibility to the next generation.
At the end of the ceremony, the attendees honored the memory of the deceased students by reading out their names and calling for a serious follow-up of the incident, punishment of the perpetrators and justice for the victims.
According to recent reports from Dutch news sources and social networks, this silent march was met with considerable reception by the Iranian community living in Europe and was also supported by a number of international human rights organizations.
By placing banners containing images of the deceased students and slogans such as “Justice for Minab” and “Keep the memory of the victims alive”, the participants called for a serious response from the international community to this tragedy.
