We welcome and consider the recent report by Human Rights Watch and the UN Special Rapporteur on Afghanistan a vital step; however, the calamity requires a thorough investigation to shed more light on the depth of this humanitarian tragedy.
The National Resistance Front urges the UN Security Council to investigate the detention, torture, and killing of civilians, forcibly relocating of people from Khost and Andarab in Baghlan, and beheading of prisoners of war and civilians in Panjshir and Andarab, that the Taliban, contradictory to all Islamic and human rights values, is perpetrating.
We call on the international community, human rights organisations and the Special Rapporteur on human rights to send a fact-finding mission to the affected areas to investigate the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Taliban so that the perpetrators could be dealt with accordingly.
