A conference on the political and human rights situation in Afghanistan under Taliban rule was held in Kraków, Poland.
The conference took place on Wednesday, October 14, with the participation of researchers, students, and a number of Polish citizens.
The gathering examined the human rights situation, restrictions on women and girls, and pressure on ethnic and religious groups in Afghanistan.
Besmillah Taban, a doctoral researcher at Jagiellonian University, said that women and girls under Taliban rule had been deprived of their fundamental rights, including education, employment and participation in social life.
He added that former members of the security and defense forces, media workers and human rights defenders had also faced harassment by the Taliban over the past five years.
Taban also expressed concern about pressure on ethnic and religious groups, particularly Hazaras, and reports of families being forcibly evicted from their homes in western Kabul.
According to him, these actions have raised concerns about property rights and the security of families’ housing.
The researcher called on participants to work towards raising international awareness of the situation of the people of Afghanistan, particularly women and vulnerable groups.
He also stressed the need to support girls’ education in Afghanistan.
The organizers said the conference aimed to introduce Afghanistan to Polish citizens, raise public awareness in Poland about developments in the country, and provide an opportunity to discuss ways to support the people of Afghanistan.
