UNAMA: The Taliban Escalate Arrests, Torture, and Killings of Former Military Personnel

Published 02/05/2024

RASC News Agency: The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), in its latest report, revealed that despite the general amnesty declared by the group’s leader, the Taliban have increased arrests, torture, and killings of former government employees and military personnel. In its quarterly report released on Thursday, May 2, UNAMA documented 38 cases of arrests, 10 cases of torture and mistreatment, and at least four instances of extrajudicial killings of former government employees and military personnel by the Taliban.

 

The report stated that these incidents occurred between January 1 and March 31 of this year. UNAMA’s report added that around 79 civilians were killed or injured over six days, from January 6 to 11, due to explosions in Kabul. The report also highlighted an explosion in Kandahar, Pakistan’s aerial attacks on Paktika, and a series of explosions in Kabul during the specified period.

 

In addition to the economic challenges faced by the media in Afghanistan, the report emphasized the continued imposition of past restrictions on media outlets and the arbitrary detention of journalists. The report noted four instances of the arrest of journalists and media workers in Kabul and Samangan, all of whom were released after enduring torture and being forced to make commitments.

 

According to the report, corporal and psychological punishment of the accused has persisted, with three instances of executions recorded in February. The United Nations pointed out that the Taliban’s continued arrest, torture, and killing of former government employees and military personnel occur despite the group’s spokespersons consistently affirming their commitment to “general amnesty.”
