«El Servicio de Derechos Humanos de la Misión de Asistencia de las Naciones Unidas en Afganistán (UNAMA) publicó esta mañana un informe en el que detalla las denuncias de violaciones graves de derechos humanos cometidas por las autoridades talibanes de facto contra cientos de exfuncionarios del gobierno y exmiembros de las fuerzas armadas. Estas violaciones se cometieron a pesar de las garantías de los talibanes de conceder una amnistía general a las mismas personas», afirmó.
«Entre la toma del poder por los talibanes el 15 de agosto de 2021 y el 30 de junio de 2023, el Servicio de Derechos Humanos ha obtenido informes creíbles según los cuales miembros de las autoridades de facto fueron responsables de 218 ejecuciones extrajudiciales, 14 desapariciones forzadas, más de 144 casos de tortura y malos tratos y 424 detenciones y arrestos arbitrarios. La mayoría de estas violaciones se cometieron contra exmiembros del Ejército Nacional Afgano, policías y funcionarios de la Dirección Nacional de Seguridad»,
afirmó Laurence.
«La Alta Comisionada para los Derechos Humanos afirma que el informe presenta un panorama aleccionador del trato que reciben las personas afiliadas al antiguo gobierno y a las fuerzas de seguridad de Afganistán desde la toma del poder por los talibanes. Esto a pesar de las promesas hechas por las autoridades de facto de que no serían atacadas. Esto es una traición a la confianza de la gente», afirmó.
El informe detalla las violaciones que ocurrieron en las 34 provincias, junto con los testimonios de las víctimas y sus familias.
La Alta Comisionada insta a las autoridades de facto a que examinen detenidamente las conclusiones del informe y cumplan sus obligaciones en virtud del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos impidiendo nuevas violaciones y haciendo que los responsables rindan cuentas.

Repeated delays in bringing lifesaving medicines, prosthetics and more from Israel into Gaza risk having devastating consequences on Palestinians who urgently need them in the wartorn enclave, the UN World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday. “A truck full of non-priority supplies or the right supplies arriving too late, doesn't save lives. That's the question that actually matters," said Dr Reinhilde Van De Weerdt, WHO Representative in the OPT.
