The UN recorded 800 incidents of human rights violations linked to the Taliban.
The Taliban took over in August 2021 as US-backed foreign forces were withdrawing from Afghanistan.
“In most instances, individuals were detained by de facto security forces, often briefly, before being killed,” the UN assistance mission in Afghanistan said. About half of the killings recorded by Unama occurred in the four months after the Taliban took over, as US-backed foreign forces were withdrawing, in August 2021, and 70 were recorded in 2022.
In total, Unama had recorded 800 incidents of human rights violations connected with the Taliban against former government employees and military including arbitrary arrests, disappearance and torture.The Taliban-led foreign affairs ministry said their supreme spiritual leader had issued the amnesty order and another order against torture or ill-treatment of people in custody.
