RASC News Agency: In a powerful demonstration of global solidarity with the people of Afghanistan, Amnesty International reports that over 350,000 individuals worldwide have called on the Taliban to respect human rights. These individuals have urged the Taliban to uphold human rights, respect the opinions and views of the people, and adhere to humanitarian values.
Amnesty International has also called for continued efforts to hold the Taliban accountable and ensure justice in Afghanistan. On Friday, July 12, Amnesty International posted on its social media account that 354,847 people worldwide signed a petition urging Taliban authorities to respect and protect human rights in Afghanistan. These individuals have asked the Taliban to respect human rights and honor the freedom of the people.
Amnesty International stated, “With the ongoing catastrophic human rights situation in Afghanistan, we must persist in our collective demand for accountability and justice in the country.” Human rights organizations claim that the Taliban have established gender apartheid in Afghanistan by excluding women from public life.
This call to action by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, through a signature campaign, aims to pressure the Taliban into respecting human rights and the fundamental rights of the Afghanistani people, especially women. However, the Taliban have dismissed these demands, labeling their policies towards women as an internal matter and justifying them under Islamic law.
Recently, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) also released a detailed report indicating that the Taliban’s Ministry for the propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice plays a significant role in violating human rights and imposing restrictions on the behavior of the Afghanistani people, particularly women.
The Taliban have so far shown no respect for human rights and humanitarian issues in Afghanistan, instead committing arbitrary killings, engaging in misconduct, and perpetrating numerous acts against human dignity.
