RASC: The global alliance of civil society known as “CIVICUS” says that the civil society of Afghanistan under the rule of the Taliban group has faced complete silence.
This organization, which consists of networks and civil organizations, published a report on Thursday, July 27, evaluating Afghanistan’s public-social atmosphere at the “closed” level, which is the lowest level in the ranking.
CIVICUS said that since the Taliban regained control, there have been widespread reports of restrictions on Afghanistani civil society.
According to this organization, activists have been arbitrarily arrested, harassed and even killed for criticizing the Taliban group. This institution has also mentioned the kidnapping of women human rights defenders and the detention of journalists.
The Global Alliance of Civil Society added that the Taliban group imposes more restrictions on basic rights and freedoms every month.
According to this institution, the civil society inside Afghanistan has faced threats and beatings with complete silence. In addition, those who fled abroad, their families are harassed.
The World Alliance of Civil Society added that the suppression of the public-social space makes monitoring and documenting human rights violations very challenging.
The Taliban group is accused of widespread violations of human rights, including the rights of women and girls.
After regaining power on August 15, 2021, this group has issued more than 50 decrees against the freedom and rights of women and girls. Currently, Afghanistani women and girls are deprived of work, education and free travel.
In the latest restriction against women, the Taliban group closed women’s beauty salons and as a result thousands of women became unemployed.
