[KhaamaPress] In a report detailing serious human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... violations conducted by Taliban ![]() students... forces since their takeover, the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) found that more than 700 civilians had been killed and more than 1400 injured. A recent UNAMA report confirms many of the concerns Afghan human rights Summary killings and forced disappearances of former Afghan National Security Forces personnel are just two serious human rights violations Taliban forces have committed. These violations persisted for months after the Taliban took control of the country, according to the report. According to this report, the Taliban were responsible for 178 arbitrary arrests and 160 extrajudicial (desert) executions between August 15, 2021, and June 15, 2022. In the last 10 months, the Taliban allegedly perpetrated 23 acts of unlawful, arbitrary arrests of former soldiers and 56 cases of torture, maltreatment, and threats. More than 100 ISIS members were allegedly unlawfully killed in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. , in eastern Afghanistan, by the Taliban. The Taliban, on the other hand, denies the report by UNAMA calling it "unfounded" and "propaganda". Zabihullah Mujahid, in reaction to UNAMA’s report on Taliban repression and abuse in Afghanistan, stated that "The UNAMA report on human rights in Afghanistan is not true." He declared that anyone who engages in extrajudicial executions or arbitrary arrest will be prosecuted as a criminal and subject to Sharia law. |

#2 Most likely WAY under reported, Mike. It is UN personnel doing the 'investigating' after all. Hard for them to break away from the nice brunch some days. |
