A new U.N. report says more than 200 extrajudicial killings of former Afghan government officials and security forces have taken place since the Taliban took over the country two years ago
More than 200 extrajudicial killings of former Afghan government officials and security forces have taken place since the Taliban took over the country two years ago, according to a U.N. report released Tuesday.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said in a press release issued alongside the report that it “presents a sobering picture of the treatment of individuals affiliated with the former government and security forces.” “Murder without trial, arbitrary arrest, detention, torture, and other acts against human rights by the employees of the security institutions of the Islamic Emirate against the employees and security forces of the previous government have not been reported,” it said in a statement.
UNAMA documented at least 14 instances of forced disappearance of former government officials and Afghan security force members.
