In a report published on June 8, Amnesty International said that the Taliban have committed the ‘war crime’ of collective punishment against civilians in Panjsher Province, reports Tolo News. This report further said, "Civilians targeted with torture and unlawful killings; detainees subjected to extrajudicial executions; mass arbitrary arrests and detention intended to intimidate the local population. Thousands of people are being swept up in the Taliban’s continued oppression." Amnesty International’s Secretary General, Agnes Callamard, said that "in Panjshir, the Taliban’s cruel tactic of targeting civilians due to suspicion of their affiliation with the National Resistance Front (NRF) is causing widespread misery and fear."
