At least 14 members of Afghanistan’s former security forces were killed between October and December last year, while dozens more were arbitrarily detained or tortured, the United Nations said, highlighting continued human rights violations under Taliban rule despite pledges of a general amnesty.
In its latest quarterly report released Sunday, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said it documented at least 28 cases of arbitrary arrest and detention and at least seven cases of torture or ill-treatment of former government officials and former members of the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces (ANDSF) during the three-month period.
