Afghan Victims Share Horrific Tales of Taliban Torture Regime

The Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan has been marked by a sustained attack on human rights, including the persecution of minority groups, the suppression of women's rights, and the use of brutal corporal punishment. The Taliban have also detained and tortured ex-officials and journalists who have spoken out against them. Despite media restrictions and fear of reprisals, videos and reports of human rights abuses continue to surface. The Taliban's tight control on media outlets and people's use of social media has made it difficult for journalists to hold power to account.
