The Taliban executed dozens of members of the Afghan security forces after they surrendered following the zealots’ seizure of Afghanistan in late summer, new exploration released by Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Tuesday alleges.
The HRW report detailed”the summary prosecution or executed exposure”of 47 former members of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), including military help, police, intelligence service members and civil host, who had surrendered to or were restrained by Taliban forces between August 15 and October 31.
HRW says the report is grounded on a aggregate of 67 interviews, including 40 in-person interviews with substantiations, cousins and musketeers of victims, and Taliban fighters. Some people were granted obscurity by HRW for their report. In some cases, families report stories of people who simply faded.
The report focuses on Ghazni, Helmand, Kandahar, and Kunduz businesses, but HRW says”the cases reflect a broader pattern of abuses reported in Khost, Paktiya, Paktika, and other businesses.”
CNN has not suitable to singly confirm the claims in the report.
A Taliban deputy spokesperson rejected the HRW report, saying that the Taliban established a general remittal on their first day of power in Afghanistan.” Grounded on that all service andnon-military help of the former government were forgiven and told they could live typically in Afghanistan, that no one could harm them,”Bilal Karimi told CNN.
Bilal did admit that there were events when”some former forces were harmed,”but not as numerous as reported, adding that any” limited incidents”in which security forces were hurt were” due to particular hostility,” rather than Taliban policy.
The findings of the disquisition would make a mockery of the Taliban’s former claims to the transnational community that it would lead a further inclusive government than it did two decades ago. Its leaders had promised a reprieve for those who banded with US forces during the American presence in the country.
