Report by senior diplomat Rina Amiri raises concerns about number of ‘unjust detentions’ in Afghanistan
The Taliban have detained 29 women and their families in Kabul, a senior US diplomat said on Saturday, adding to concerns about rising numbers of people seized and held indefinitely in Afghanistan.
Rina Amiri, US special envoy for Afghan Women, Girls & Human Rights, said that women were among 40 people seized on Friday. “These unjust detentions must stop,” she said in a tweet.
