Afghanistan United Women’s Organization Calls for Immediate Release of Political Prisoners from Taliban Prisons

Members of the organization emphasized that political prisoners should not be detained by the Taliban for expressing their beliefs, as they represent the voice of the Afghan people advocating for freedom and justice.

The statement asserts that arresting citizens for their political views is a blatant violation of human rights and urges the international community to demand the unconditional release of political prisoners from the Taliban.

It is worth noting that since their return to power, the Taliban have arrested and imprisoned dozens of Afghan citizens for expressing opinions on social media and in the press—an issue that has consistently drawn strong reactions from human rights activists.
