Why the Taliban must be held accountable for past atrocities
In August 2021, after Taliban rapidly swept to power in Afghanistan, its fighters executed 13 people from the Hazara minority in Daikundi province. This is just one example of the Taliban’s cruelty. Since they first came to power in 1996, the Taliban have enjoyed near total impunity for such crimes. This past impunity has allowed them to continue to commit atrocities without fear of prosecution, punishment or any other form of accountability. This has serious consequences for the future of Afghanistan.
