The Afghan Human Rights Commission was dissolved by the Taliban government
The Taliban have announced that the Independent Human Rights Commission has been disbanded by the group’s government and that the commission no longer has legitimacy.
A Taliban spokesman told a news conference that the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) no longer had legitimacy and had been disbanded by the group’s government.
Meanwhile, the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) issued a statement on Friday saying that the commission had not been able to continue its activities since August 15 this year.
The commission said in a statement that although the commission had not been disbanded, it had not been able to carry out its duties to the Afghan people since August 15 this year.
The commission added that the Taliban not only occupied the buildings of all the commission’s offices, but also used them to hold their meetings and used the commission’s assets, such as vehicles and computers.
The Commission commends the efforts of UNAMA and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Afghanistan and calls on the United Nations Human Rights Council to establish an independent mechanism to monitor human rights abuses in Afghanistan.
The commission also called on the Taliban to respect the “independence” of the AIHRC and its staff, as well as all human rights defenders who have tirelessly defended the human rights of Afghan citizens.
