RASC News Agency: The International Amnesty organization has issued a report on forced disappearances in South Asia, asserting that Afghanistan bears a grim legacy in this realm, and the resurgence of the Taliban heralds a new era of such occurrences.
Late last night, the International Amnesty organization published a report on this matter, acknowledging that forced disappearances were prevalent in the country under previous regimes, including during the tenures of the People’s Democratic Party, the Mujahideen, and the first and second Taliban regimes, and this grim legacy of forced disappearances endures.
The organization underscores that the Taliban’s control over Afghanistan has ushered in a systematic onset of these forced disappearances. Arbitrary detention and forced disappearances are two primary concerns highlighted in numerous reports by human rights organizations.
Meanwhile, Richard Bennett, the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Human Rights Council, asserted that arbitrary detention and, in certain instances, forced disappearances by the Taliban have resulted in escalating restrictions in Afghanistan. Mr. Bennett further remarked that the oppressive policies and actions of the Taliban introduce new threats to human rights in Afghanistan.
It is noteworthy that the Taliban have yet to respond to the International Amnesty report; nevertheless, they have previously disregarded similar reports on human rights violations in Afghanistan.
