RASC News Agency: In his address, Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights for Afghanistan, voiced grave apprehension regarding the Taliban’s strong emphasis on religious education. This singular focus has considerably exacerbated the growth of extremism within Afghanistan, posing a dual threat of internal terrorism and regional instability. Bennett’s remarks, delivered on October 24, underscore the fact that the Taliban’s educational policies blatantly undermine the fundamental rights of women, minority groups, and human rights in Afghanistan. An exploration of the human rights situation within the country paints a somber picture, revealing a dire state of affairs.

The UN official also expressed persistent worry concerning the continued targeting of human rights defenders and journalists by the Taliban, as well as the ongoing oppression faced by minorities. Additionally, he brought to attention the serious matter of torture and the perpetration of inhumane treatment within prisons. Gender discrimination, oppression, and gender segregation were all highlighted as distressing examples that shed light on the current human rights landscape in Afghanistan, now under the control of the Taliban.

Moreover, the official placed significant emphasis on the concerns voiced by Afghanistani citizens regarding the “normalization of the situation in Afghanistan” and the potential abandonment of human rights in favor of larger geopolitical interests. These concerns unequivocally signify the urgent need for sustained attention and decisive action in order to safeguard human rights in Afghanistan, especially in the face of the Taliban’s authoritative grip over the nation. The words of the UN official resolutely emphasize the paramount importance of upholding and championing human rights, all while fostering an environment of peace and stability in Afghanistan.

Despite the widespread accusations of human rights violations levied against the Taliban, encompassing the curbing of women’s rights, mistreatment of former government soldiers, and the suppression of minority groups, international authorities have consistently voiced their concerns regarding the deplorable state of human rights in Afghanistan amidst the Taliban’s rule.

Simultaneously, reports detailing the restrictions imposed on the education system in Afghanistan by the Taliban have triggered a wave of concern among experts. These knowledgeable individuals have made a pointed case about the potential propagation of extremism within schools that operate under the Taliban’s control. Of particular concern is the indoctrination of students with extremist ideologies, as well as the alarming inclusion of teachings on suicide methods within the group’s educational institutions.
