Allegations include 160 killings of ex-government officials and security forces, torture and punishments

members appear to have carried out human rights violations. A sweeping crackdown on critics, targeting media, protesters and civil society activists has exacerbated the problem.

Armed conflict killed 700 civilians and injured more than 1,400 between 15 August 2021 and June this year, the UN found. Most died in suicide attacks by Islamic State fighters, and from unexploded weapon remnants left behind when fighting ended in much of the country. A Taliban spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, criticised the report as “propaganda” and said the incidents documented were not true. “There is no arbitrarily kill or arrest in the country. If someone kills or arrests arbitrarily, the one is considered criminal and will face the sharia law,” he said in a statement on Twitter.
