Geneva:  Popular Afghan Singer Farhad Darya spread the idea of peace as his band performed in Geneva on Saturday.

Darya made an emotional appeal to the civilized world to come together and stand with the people of Afghanistan. In his words, he put a strong message by saying that ” Afghanistan is neither the sixth finger nor the abandoned child of the world”, reports ANI.

Afghan Diaspora members from all over Europe had assembled at the Movenpick Hotel, Geneva to witness the event.

The event was titled “Music For Conscience.”

“Women and young girls experience group rape and physical torture in Afghanistan; there is no respect for basic women’s rights or education. Musicians have been tortured, shot, and have been stopped from producing any music at all. The Taliban have been destroying musical instruments and torturing local musicians in public,” the singer was quoted as saying by ANI.
