RASC News Agency: The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has recently published a new report detailing the human rights situation in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan for the months of April and June. According to the report, released on Tuesday, July 30, five cases of former military personnel being killed were recorded between April 1 and June 30. Of these incidents, one was attributed to the Taliban, while the others were perpetrated by unidentified individuals.
The report also documents 60 instances of arbitrary detention and 10 cases of torture, mistreatment, and verbal threats during the same period. UNAMA’s report states: “Reports received by UNAMA highlight ongoing violations against former military personnel following their forced return to Afghanistan, with these abuses persisting.” Additionally, the report covers issues related to women’s rights, media freedom, border conflicts between the Taliban and Pakistani forces, and tensions between the Taliban and residents of Badakhshan province.
These statistics come amid a troubling trend of escalating reports of detention, torture, and killings of former military personnel over the past three years. In the most recent case, a former soldier was killed on Monday, July 29, in Alingar district, Laghman province. Furthermore, the Taliban previously executed three brothers, former military personnel, in Ghor province, with no accountability from any organization or individual for these acts.
