The Taliban regime has carried out at least 218 extrajudicial executions since it came to power on August 15, 2021, according to a report by the UN mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), which points to officials and members of the security forces as the main victims. linked to the old government.

The document, based on “credible” information and updated until June 30, also reports 14 forced disappearances, more than 144 cases of torture and ill-treatment, and 424 arbitrary arrests, despite the fact that the Taliban allegedly promised not to retaliate.

For the UN Office for Human Rights, the report reflects in a “sober” way what Afghanistan is like today and the treatment received by people who, in theory, should not be persecuted.

“It is a betrayal of the trust of the public,” said the spokesman for the High Commissioner, Jeremy Laurence.

The abuses are also widespread, to the extent that they extend through the 34 provinces that make up the Asian country, which is why the UN has called on the regime to respect the obligations contained in International Law and work for the sake of surrender.

The Islamic Emirate, the official name of the regime, has denied through the mouth of one of its main spokesmen, Zabihulá Mujahid, the conclusions of the report.

In this sense, he has accused the United Nations of focusing on negative issues “instead of understanding the realities of Afghanistan,” according to Tolo News.

Mujahid has ensured that the general amnesty is fully applied in Afghanistan, despite the findings of international experts over the past two years.
