Instead, the report documents the government’s failure to implement even the most basic safeguards against torture and other ill-treatment in Afghanistan. The Covid-19 pandemic meant the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) suspended its visits to Afghan detention facilities in March 2020, so the report covers only 2019 and early 2020. It documents a slight reduction in the use of torture overall, with more improvement in National Directorate of Security (NDS) detention centers than police facilities. But with no monitoring in remote and secret facilities, and no visits to detention centers in almost a year, any such conclu

Haqqani Network Increases Presence in Afghanistan: Nabil

Haqqani Network Increases Presence in Afghanistan: Nabil Pakistan-based Haqqani network has increased its footprint in Afghanistan as its members are now present both in the west and northeastern regions of the country, said Rahmatullah Nabil, former head of the National Directorate of Security. Nabil, who addressed panel discussion on Afghanistan-US relations under President Joe Biden’s administration hosted by the Afghan Institute of Strategic Studies, said that the meeting of Afghan political leaders with the Taliban in Moscow in 2018 was a mistake. Nabil said that there is a big gap between the government and the public due to the current circumstances.

Torture remains high in Afghan jails: UN report

Torture remains high in Afghan jails: UN report Posted By: adminon: Allegations by detainees of torture in Afghan detention facilities continue at high rates with the procedural rights of those detained largely ignored, a UN report said Wednesday. Torture and ill-treatment persist in the facilities of government agencies in Afghanistan, although UNAMA recorded a three per cent reduction in allegations compared to the previous monitoring period. “Torture can never be justified. It has lasting consequences for victims, their families and society,” said Deborah Lyons, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan. “I recognize the efforts made by some Government Ministries and Institutions, but much more needs to be done to bring this practice to an end. In particular, perpetrators must be held accountable. This would increase confidence in the rule of law and can be a contributing factor towards peace,” said the envoy, who is also head of UNAMA.
