SBS tonight screens the first of a two-part investigation by Dateline in Afghanistan.
Dateline journalists are the first Australian reporters to visit a village in Afghanistan where an imam and his adult son were shot dead following a raid by Australian SAS soldiers, including Ben Roberts-Smith. At the time, the Australian Defence Force said the killings were justified, but locals say they were murdered.
Locals say it was an execution, but an Australian Defence Force (ADF) investigation found the killings were justified.
Dateline journalists are the first Australian reporters to visit Sola and directly speak to witnesses in search of answers.
Dateline contacted the ADF and Roberts-Smith seeking a response to the allegations raised in the program.
Roberts-Smith did not respond and the ADF did not answer Dateline’s questions.
9:30pm Tuesday 1 October and 8 October on SBS.
