accelerating human rights and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan according to Human Rights Watch.

An old report said, “the Taliban victory propelled Afghanistan from humanitarian crisis to catastrophe, with millions of Afghans facing severe food insecurity due to lost income, cash shortages, and rising food costs.”

A new HRW report accuses Taliban security forces of executing and abducting people in eastern Afghanistan.

It says residents of Nangahar and Kunar provinces have discovered the bodies of more than 100 men dumped in canals and other locations since the Taliban took power in August last year.

HRW says the bodies showed evidence of torture and brutal executions: some had missing limbs, ropes around their necks, or had been beheaded.

An unknown number of people have been ‘forcibly disappeared.

The victims were alleged members or supporters of the Islamic State of Khorasan Province armed group, the Afghan affiliate of ISIL.
