US Chargé d’Affaires, Ross Wilson has announced strong support for the human rights defenders and journalists in Afghanistan.
“We applaud the blunt and compelling report by UNAMA on the targeted killing of human rights defenders and journalists. We support its call for the Taliban to investigate, condemn, and prohibit targeted civilian killings such as these,” Mr. Wilson said.
In line with UNAMA’s recommendations, Mr. Wilson called on the government to strengthen protections for these citizens, prosecute attacks transparently and end impunity for murderers.
“We unite with others in condemning increased attacks on those advancing human rights and freedom of speech in Afghanistan,” he added.
