The United Nations in a new report has said it has documented “serious human rights violations” against returning migrants, including cases of “torture, arbitrary detentions, and threats to personal security by the Taliban”.
The joint report, released Thursday by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, is based on interviews conducted in 2024 with 49 returnees.
The report focuses on particularly vulnerable groups, including women and girls, former government employees and security personnel, journalists, and civil society activists.
