UNAMA Calls on Taliban to Immediately Suspend Executions, Citing Grave Human Rights Violations

Published 12/04/2025

RASC News Agency: Kabul: The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has issued a strong condemnation of the Taliban’s recent execution of four men across three provinces, characterizing the act as a blatant violation of fundamental human rights. The UN mission has called for an immediate suspension of capital punishment, describing it as fundamentally incompatible with the inalienable right to life. In a public statement released via the social media platform X on Friday, April 11, UNAMA declared: “The death penalty is in direct contradiction with the fundamental right to life. We urge an immediate moratorium on executions as a critical step toward the complete abolition of this practice.”

The statement comes in response to the Taliban’s announcement that four men had been executed in public across Badghis, Nimruz, and Farah provinces. According to reports, two of the executions took place in Qala-e-Naw, the provincial capital of Badghis, one in Zaranj, the capital of Nimruz, and another in the center of Farah Province. The executions have provoked widespread international outrage. Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, and Amnesty International had earlier condemned the killings, describing them as egregious breaches of international human rights obligations and due process norms.

With the latest incidents, the total number of individuals executed by the Taliban since their return to power in August 2021 has risen to nine a statistic that human rights advocates warn signals a disturbing trend toward authoritarian justice and the erosion of legal safeguards. UNAMA reiterated its call on Afghanistan’s de facto authorities to honor their international human rights commitments, urging the Taliban to adopt a justice system that respects human dignity, legal transparency, and international law.
