The World Organization Against Torture announced in its new report that Afghanistan under the Taliban government is classified in the "very high risk" category for torture. Arbitrary detentions and severe human rights violations justify this rating.
The report assessed the situation in 39 countries, identifying Afghanistan as one of the most dangerous places globally. Intelligence agents in detention centers frequently use brutal methods like beatings, electric shocks, and whipping.
An independent judicial system no longer exists, and prisoners' access to defense lawyers is severely restricted. The global anti-torture organization urged the international community to establish independent mechanisms to monitor this alarming situation closely.
