Faiq: Human Rights Situation in Afghanistan “Extremely” Concerning

Addressing a meeting of the 77^th UN General Assembly (UNGA), Chargé d’Affaires of Afghanistan Permanent Mission to the United Nations, Naseer Ahmad Faiq, described the situation of human rights in the country as “extremely concerning.” He delivered his speech at the meeting on Tuesday, November 01.

“The situation of women and girls are highly concerning.
