Amnesty has stated that 198, 612 people globally have signed a petition to stand with people in Afghanistan.
Referring to their petition which had been launched last year, the global rights body on social media platform X stated that Afghans deserve their right to live in freedom, dignity, and equality.
They also called on the Taliban to end human rights violations.
The petition had stated that the Taliban has started a new era of human rights abuse and violations since taking over on August 15, 2021 in Afghanistan.
Amnesty added that the Taliban had also broken their promise of protecting Afghan people’s rights, especially women’s rights, and they have resumed the cycle of violence and committed a litany of human rights abuses and violations with full impunity.
“Thousands of Afghans have been arbitrarily detained, tortured, disappeared, and even killed. Journalists, activists, human rights defenders, artists, academics, religious and ethnic minorities remain at particular risk,” the petition states.
It called on people to sign the petition as human rights in Afghanistan were under attack on all fronts and that it must be stopped.
