Human Rights Watch said the Taliban must stop all attacks against protesters and journalists - and ensure those responsible are "appropriately punished".

"The Taliban need to ensure that all journalists are able to carry out their work without abusive restrictions or fear of retribution."Human Rights Watch said TOLOnews photojournalist, Wahid Ahmadi, was also detained on Tuesday and released the same day.Amnesty International’s South Asia campaigner, Samira Hamidi, said despite the Taliban repeatedly insisting it will respect human rights, its actions say otherwise.

Good heavens! This looks like what was going on in Abu Graib.

The US abandoned Afghanistan after 20 years of brutal and barbaric occupation. The Taliban came back with little resistance because of US betrayal of Afghan people.

Taliban just seized a country by force - you really think they give two shits about what rights groups have to say?

It’s amazing how many rights groups are speaking out but no Condemnation coming from any government or UN. What is this complete silence. Terrorists hijacked a country and everyone seems to be okay with it.

Despicable but hardly surprising
