In a statement posted on social media, Mujahid labeled the report as “misinformation” and accused it of being part of a “campaign” against the Taliban. He went on to assert that Afghan citizens, irrespective of gender, now enjoy “significantly higher levels of physical, financial, and mental security” compared to previous years.

The spokesperson further noted that all Afghans continue to exercise their legal rights and experience comprehensive safety, with “no instances of rights violation reported.” (ILKHA)
