Since taking control of Afghanistan in 2021, the Taliban has been accused of numerous human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings and severe restrictions on women's rights. According to international reports, the Taliban has targeted over 100 former Afghan officials in retaliatory actions, with many more still imprisoned.
The Taliban has reportedly silenced opposition voices and implemented measures to maintain their rule. This includes imprisoning or killing former government officials and prosecutors. They have also released convicted terrorists from prisons while detaining members of the previous administration.
Women's rights have been particularly affected under Taliban rule. In 2021, the Taliban annulled all divorce decrees, effectively stripping women of their right to divorce. International reports also allege that women have been subjected to violence and abuse in Taliban-controlled prisons, with some cases resulting in deaths.
The situation has led to a severe humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, with millions of lives at risk. Many former female judges and prosecutors are among those awaiting justice.
The Taliban's actions have raised concerns about human rights violations and the overall stability of the region.
