The Taliban have waged a systematic assault on freedom in Afghanistan, says UN human rights chief​

ISLAMABAD (AP): The Taliban have waged a systematic assault on the freedom of Afghanistan’s people, including women and girls experiencing “immeasurably cruel” oppression, the U.N.’s human rights chief said Tuesday.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said that human rights are in a state of collapse in Afghanistan more than two years after the Taliban returned to power and stripped back institutional protections at all levels. He urged U.N. member states to help fill the void.

“The shocking level of oppression of Afghan women and girls is immeasurably cruel,” Turk said during a meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva. “Afghanistan has set a devastating precedent as the only country in the world where women and girls are denied access to secondary and higher education.”

The Taliban regained control of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, as U.S and NATO forces withdrew from the country after more than two decades of war. They initially promised a more moderate approach than during they during their previous rule from 1996 to 2001 but gradually reimposed their harsh interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.

Along with excluding girls and women from education beyond sixth grade, most forms of employment and many public spaces, the Taliban have harassed or beaten women at checkpoints for failing to wear a hijab, or Islamic headscarf, according to a report Turk presented to the Human Rights Council. They have ordered women to return home from markets for shopping without a male guardian.

With female lawyers and judges excluded from working or practicing law, women and girls have less ability to obtain legal representation and access to justice, the report stated.

The Taliban edicts have prompted an international outcry. But officials, including the supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, have told other countries to stop interfering in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.

Their country their rules.....

In the USA, for instance, the shocking level of oppression of the normal folks (including kids) via LBGTQ+ propaganda is immeasurably cruel....
 
.
Islamic governance at its most pure and beautiful. So many, many Pakistanis yearn for a government that follows the customs and governing ideas of the Prophet. So, it's an easy immigration path to your west. Vote with your feet.

Pales in comparison to the assault on freedoms by faujeets of GHQ pindi.
 
.
Their country their rules.....
Their country, their rules does not apply to crimes. If someone wants to get educated, and told they can't because of their race, gender, ethnicity, tribe, or religion, then it is a violation of human rights. Denial of access to education, health care, and fair justice can be considered crimes against humanity. Taliban considers Afghan women as their property, not as citizens. That is why stripping citizenship from anyone should be illegal.
 
.
Are they in compliance with Sharia or in violation? Saudi Arabia, Iran or Egypt haven't objected.
