Amnesty International Calls for Immediate Release of Human Rights Defenders

Expressing concern about the safety of human rights defenders under Taliban custody, Amnesty International has called for the immediate and unconditional release of Zarifa Yaqoobi, Farhat Popalzai, Humaira Yusuf, and their colleagues.

The Taliban intelligence operatives arrested these women’s human rights defenders and their colleagues, including young men, over the past ten days.
