UN slams killings, rights abuses under Afghanistan’s Taliban

Human Rights Chief within the United Nations Assistance Mission to Afghanistan, Fiona Frazer, speaks during a news conference in Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday, July 20, 2022. The UN said in a report Wednesday that hundreds of people have been killed in Afghanistan since the Taliban overran the country nearly a year ago, even though security on the whole has improved since then. The report also highlighted the poor situation of women and girls since the Taliban takeover and how they have been stripped of many of their human rights under Afghanistan's current rulers.
