According to a report published in Afghan media, the Taliban have arbitrarily detained at least 2,930 people. The figure has raised concerns about the state of human rights, individual freedoms and citizens’ security in Afghanistan.
Arbitrary detentions, restrictions on freedom of expression, and the treatment of civil society and human rights activists are among the issues that have repeatedly drawn the attention of the media and international organisations since the Taliban returned to power.
Women and girls in Afghanistan also face widespread restrictions in their daily lives. International reports have documented the detention of some women and girls for allegedly failing to comply with the Taliban’s dress regulations, further intensifying concerns about fundamental freedoms and women’s rights.
The continuation of this situation raises serious questions about respect for citizens’ rights, access to justice and accountability for human rights violations.
