Afghanistan Human Rights

The Taliban in Afghanistan have imposed a new, oppressive rule that silences women's voices even further.

CSA has announced it will continue to play bilateral fixtures against Afghanistan despite increasing calls for a boycott due to the Taliban's oppressive policies towards women in the country.

The Taliban government's morality police said it would not cooperate with the United Nation's mission in Afghanistan, calling it "an opposing side".

The UN special rapporteur on the human rights situation in Afghanistan has been barred from entering the country, a diplomatic source told AFP on Tuesday.

The Taliban's morality ministry has dismissed more than 280 members of the security force for failure to grow a beard and have detained more than 13,000 people in Afghanistan for "immoral acts" in the past year, officials said on Tuesday.

Afghanistan's Taliban rulers celebrated three years in power on Wednesday with a military parade paying homage to their homemade bombs used in war, fighter aircraft and goose-stepping security forces.

Cricket Australia postponed a men's T20I series against Afghanistan, scheduled for August this year, citing the deterioration of human rights for women and girls in the country.

In 2023 and 2024, Cricket Australia had cancelled a planned bilateral series against Afghanistan, citing "deteriorating human rights" towards women and children as the reason.

Afghanistan's Taliban authorities on Saturday criticised the UN Security Council's plan for a special envoy to promote gender and human rights in the country as "unnecessary".

The Taliban no longer sees the need for state-sponsored women's shelters, hence they have shut them down.

Kabul Police spokesperson said that the video showed officers from public security police, operating under the Ministry of Interior.
