237 people murdered in Afghanistan without being tried After Taliban took control
Guwahati: At least 237 people have been killed in Afghanistan since the Taliban retook control without ever having received a fair trial which cited Amnesty International, Khaama Press reported quoting Amnesty International.
A 416-page report on the situation in Afghanistan throughout the two years from 2021 to 2022 was submitted by the UK-based NGO Amnesty International. According to the organization’s overall assessment, the country’s human rights situation is rapidly deteriorating.
The data in the report, which covers the period from November 18 to December 16, reveals that more than 100 persons were publicly spanked in athletic venues throughout Afghanistan. An alleged criminal was publicly executed for the first time in December in western Farah province. The execution has been referred to as a “hateful deed” by the international community.
The Amnesty International report also notes that in Afghanistan, limits were placed on media, women’s rights, and young girls’ access to education. According to Khamma Press, which cited Amnesty International, efforts to improve the state of human rights have stalled.
Also, there are more instances of arbitrary arrests, the suppression of peaceful protests, and the killing of protesters in Afghanistan, and the de facto authorities are attempting to carry out these actions illegally.
The National Resistance Front (NRF) members, former government employees, and others who defy the Taliban’s commands are the ones being targeted, according to Amnesty International.
The study cites UNAMA to claim that between August 2021 and June 2022, terrorist attacks in Afghanistan resulted in the deaths and injuries of over 2,100 innocent civilians.
It should be mentioned that the Taliban took back control of Afghanistan in 2021, at least 20 years after being overthrown by US forces. Women’s rights in the nation have taken one of the biggest hits ever since they took office.
According to Khaama Press, the Taliban arrested a number of female journalists and obtrusively interrupted a women’s press conference that was organised in the Dasht-e-Barchi region of Afghanistan in November of last year.
According to Khaama Headlines, the terrorist group interfered with the event and transported female human rights activists to an undisclosed location. Just 328 of the 547 media outlets that were active in Afghanistan prior to the Taliban’s takeover are still in operation, according to Reporters Without Borders. According to Khaama Press, the Taliban’s authority resulted in the closure of up to 219 print, visual, and audio outlets.
