More than 300 Afghan writers have endured rights breaches since the Taliban surged back to control in 2021, a UN report said Tuesday, archiving handfuls of cases of torment and self-assertive capture. It described 256 occurrences of “subjective capture and detainment”, 130 of “torment and ill-treatment” and 75 of “dangers or terrorizing”. UNAMA chief Roza Otunbayeva said writers “regularly confront hazy rules on what they can and cannot report, running the chance of terrorizing and self-assertive detainment for seen feedback”.
