Amnesty International published the results of its investigations on killing Hazaras in by the Taliban in Lal wa Sarjangle of Ghor province.
The report said Taliban fighters killed six Hazara people on 26 June in a deliberate attack on the ethnic minority group in Afghanistan’s Ghor province.
“On 26 June 2022, the Taliban detained and unlawfully, tortured and executed four men during a night raid operation in search of a former security official.” The report said.
The report also said that a woman and a 12-year-old girl were also killed during the raid.
AI building on target killings of Hazaras in Ghor said that the attack is part of a wider pattern of unlawful targeted killings of people whom the Taliban perceives as adversaries.
“The Taliban must immediately end this cruel pattern of targeted killings and, as the de facto authorities, ensure the protection of all Afghans,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
AI report on Ghor target killing was released while Hazaras have been killed deliberately by the Taliban during the last year.
Amnesty International has documented similar extrajudicial executions of Hazara people in Ghazni province in July 2021, and Daykundi province in August 2021.
The Taliban attacked on 26 June on Muradi’s house, a former member of public uprising forces, and killed Muradi, his wife, and 12 years, daughter.
