UN says nearly 400 civilians killed in Afghanistan since Taliban takeover
The National Post reported, citing Reuters, the United Nations human rights chief said on Monday nearly 400 people had been killed in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover in August 2021, many at the hands of a group affiliated to the Islamic State.
Speaking at a month-long session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Michelle Bachelet added that more than 50 individuals with suspected ties to that group known as ISIS-K had been killed, with some beheaded and their bodies discarded in public.
