A leading international rights group appealed on Monday for the UN Human Rights Council to address the ongoing, "relentless abuses" by Afghanistan's Taliban rulers, including severe restrictions on women and freedom of speech.
The Taliban have banned women from public life and girls education beyond the sixth grade, carried out public executions after sentences before Taliban courts and cracked down on minority communities. "The human rights situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating rapidly, and the Taliban's relentless abuses continue every single day," said Agnes Callamard, Amnesty's secretary general.
The group also said that people who publicly criticize "abusive rules" of the Taliban have been arrested without any explanations while the crackdown on women's rights and public killings of minority ethnic Hazaras continue unchecked.
