Taliban Reject Report Of Summary Killings of Ex-Security Forces

Afghanistan’s Taliban government rejected condemnation by Western nations over dozens of alleged summary killings of former security force personnel documented by rights groups since the Islamists returned to power.
The US, other Western nations, and allies said they were deeply concerned by allegations by Human Rights Watch and others that point to serious human rights abuses.
The State Department says alleged summary killings and enforced disappearances contradict an amnesty declared by the Taliban for former security force personnel after the Islamists defeated a Western-backed regime and retook control of the country in mid-August.
The Taliban’s Interior Ministry however rejected both the Western rebuke and rights groups’ allegations.
