Torture, menaces, et détentions arbitraires : les Afghans renvoyés dans leur pays victimes d'abus graves, alerte l'ONU @UNAMAnews I @UNHumanRights news.un.org/fr/story/2025/…
New report shows serious human rights violations against people forcibly returned to Afghanistan — mainly from Pakistan & Iran. Abuses include torture, ill-treatment & arbitrary arrest by de facto authorities. More from @UNHumanRights & @UNAMAnews. unama.unmissions.org/afghanistan-un…
Published today (in English, Dari, Pashto): Press Release and Report on human rights risks faced by persons involuntarily returned to #Afghanistan. unama.unmissions.org/afghanistan-un…
Alarmed by spate of arrests of women&girls in Kabul #Afghanistan for dress code violations reminiscent of early 2024; reportedly more violent. Reflects persistent enforcement of Taliban's systematic gender persecution, causing great fear among Afghans. Urge support after release.
UNAMA is concerned by the arrest of numerous women & girls in Kabul between 16-19 July due to their alleged non-compliance with the de facto authorities’ hijab instructions. UNAMA has engaged with #Afghanistan's de facto authorities to seek further information.
Afghanistan: @UNHumanRights chief calls for immediate stop to the forcible return of Afghan refugees & asylum-seekers. 1.9 million people have been forced or compelled to return to Afghanistan in the last seven months, unleashing a human rights crisis. ohchr.org/en/press-brief…
Deeply alarmed by reports of the imminent deportation of a group of at-risk Afghans from #UAE and urge the Government there to halt plans immediately. I repeat: #Afghanistan is not safe, and those forced to return are at significant risk of persecution and violent reprisals.
We are witnessing a human rights crisis of global proportions. A staggering number of #Afghans, incl refugees, forcibly returned from #Iran & #Pakistan with threats or actual returns from other countries. States abandoning their moral & legal responsibilities must reverse course.
#Afghanistan: We call on all States to increase the availability of legal pathways for Afghans to find a safe place to live. They have already endured decades of extreme hardship & discrimination, warfare & threats. We must not turn our backs on the Afghan people now.
UN experts condemn ongoing mass returns of #Afghan nationals – many of them #refugees – from Iran & Pakistan. They call for returns to be halted immediately, saying Afghanistan is not a safe country for returnees since the #Taliban seized control. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Pleased to join other UN experts welcoming ICC arrest warrants for Taliban leaders. A powerful affirmation to people of #Afghanistan, especially women&girls, that they are seen, heard & believed. This is a positive step to tackle impunity while much more action is still needed.
Afghanistan: UN experts welcome arrest warrants for senior #Taliban leaders. These warrants mark a vital step to justice for people of Afghanistan, esp. women & girls who have endured nearly 4 years of institutionalised gender persecution. @IntlCrimCourt ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
