Taliban Policies Have Worsened the Humanitarian Crisis — Rina Amiri

Former United States Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights Rina Amiri stated that the Taliban regime’s discriminatory and hard-line policies have significantly intensified Afghanistan’s human rights crisis.

“The international community’s united opposition to the Taliban’s unlawful and repressive actions clearly demonstrates that the world is not prepared to accept this hard-line form of governance.”
