Richard Bennett, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan by the UN Human Rights Council, who is currently in the country, has said the attacks on civilians must stop and the perpetrators must be brought to justice. But the Taliban have increased their attacks on civilians and many are killed by them every day. Detention, killing, and forcibly making the people leave their homes are regularly done in the country.
According to the reports, Richard Bennett would visit the location of the recent terrorist attacks and talk to the families of the victims.
Bennett in a series of twits announced his journey to Balkh province. He said he had visited the Shiite mosque (the Se Dukan mosque), which in a suicide attack on the mosque about 150 Shiite Muslims were killed and wounded.
He termed the suicide attack as heartbreaking and violent against Hazara Shiites.
ISKP accepted the responsibility for the deadly attack at the Shiite mosque, but the authorities of the former government and the Taliban have repeatedly said, ISKP does not have a physical presence in Afghanistan.
Ricahrd Bennett Richard Bennett, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan by the UN Human Rights Council have raveled traveled to Afghanistan in a time when criminal events have increased in Afghanistan and the Taliban forces detain, shot dead, and forcibly move them on baseless reasons.
This report reviews the criminal incidents and target attacks of the Taliban on civilians in the provinces with the majority of non-Pashtun residents and shows the human rights situation is shocking and frightening in the country.
