@fereshtaabbasi.bsky.socialFrench cooperation with the Taliban on a returns process would be with full knowledge of the Taliban’s responsibility for grave human rights violations and systematic oppression
@fereshtaabbasi.bsky.social“The European Union cannot credibly condemn the Taliban’s systematic repression while engaging with them to deport Afghans into the very abuses they claim to oppose,” said Fereshta Abbasi, the Afghanistan researcher at Human Rights Watch.

@fereshtaabbasi.bsky.socialThe United States and other countries that took part in the war in Afghanistan should properly investigate and prosecute alleged war crimes by their forces and provide appropriate redress to the victims of abuses and their families.
@elainepearson.bsky.socialReposted by @fereshtaabbasi.bsky.socialWithout warning, Pakistan has directed all medical & dental institutions to expel Afghan students & arrange to send them back to Afghanistan. It is the latest move by Pakistani authorities to summarily deport Afghans from the country. @hrw.org @fereshtaabbasi.bsky.social

@fereshtaabbasi.bsky.socialThe Taliban leadership wants the world to believe that their rule is unified. It is not. The uneven implementation of its own edicts proves that pressure can shape behavior.

@fereshtaabbasi.bsky.socialPakistani authorities should withdraw the return orders, restore students’ enrollment, reverse the discriminatory admissions ban, and ensure students can remain lawfully to complete their degrees.
@hrw.orgReposted by @fereshtaabbasi.bsky.socialFive years on, the Taliban's repression continues in #Afghanistan.
Women and girls are denied their rights. Critics face persecution. Accountability remains overdue.
Renew the UN expert's mandate and urgently operationalize the new accountability mechanism.

@fereshtaabbasi.bsky.socialCountries should not normalize engagement with the Taliban without clear and measurable human rights benchmarks. And no state should forcibly return anyone to Afghanistan, where persecution is systematic and well documented.

@fereshtaabbasi.bsky.socialTaliban have entrenched one of the worst human rights crises and systematically dismantled the rights of women and girls since taking power five years ago. Afghanistan is also facing a humanitarian crisis with 40% of the population in need of assistance.
