US Secretary of State: The situation with religious freedom in Afghanistan is dire
The US Secretary of State says the situation of religious freedom in Afghanistan has deteriorated sharply since the Taliban took control.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at a meeting that conditions for religious freedom in Taliban-held Afghanistan have deteriorated considerably.
Emphasizing that religious freedom is a priority for the United States, he also criticized Saudi Arabia, China, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan and Myanmar, adding that the human rights and religious freedom situation in those countries is dire.
The State Department had previously expressed concern about Taliban human rights abuses in Afghanistan, but Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid tweeted that US concerns about human rights abuses in Afghanistan were unfounded because all fundamental rights People are already provided.
According to him, the Taliban ensure and fulfill all the basic rights of the people.
