In September 2009, two US fighter jets, acting on the orders of German Army Colonel Georg Klein, bombed a large group of people on a sandbar in the Kunduz River (Afghanistan). More than 100 people – mainly civilians – were killed or injured. During the following investigations, the German government and military repeatedly put their own interests ahead of prosecuting those responsible. In February 2020 – ten years later – the case is before the Grande Chamaber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg.
