Afghanistan: UN report on human rights biased and far from reality

“Today, there is no threat to the life of women in Afghanistan, no Afghan woman is killed in wars or raids, nor does she lose her relatives, now, no one dishonors Afghan women, no Afghan woman’s children are innocently in prisons,” Zabihullah said.

Zabihullah underlined that 181 public and private universities are open to women and men in Afghanistan, Zabihullah, adding: “Education has been extended to the remaining 70 percent of the country, thousands of Afghan women are working in education, higher education, public health, National ID cards, passports, airports, police, media, banks and other essential fields.”

Zabihullah noted that “despite the oppressive rules, freezing assets and banking problems, all government entities are working hard for economic prosperity of the country and well-being of the nation.”

“The rights of minorities are protected, none of them killed, arrested, charged and or prevented from worshiping. On the other hand, hundreds of attacks aimed at the worship places of the minorities have been prevented,” Zabihullah stated.

“In some exceptional cases, the perpetrators have been detained and punished severely. Public amnesty has been granted to thousands of people who for 20 years continuously raised guns against their countrymen and in support of foreign invaders, killed Afghans.”

Zabihullah went on to say: “Unfortunately, in this biased report of the United Nations, none of the above highlighted nor praised. Going through the report, it is obvious how clearly this big international organization is being misused and wrong information is being published on its address?”

“We condemn and call it regrettable that irresponsible and controversial statements are being published at the address of the United Nations against the Islamic Emirate.”

Zabihullah called on the United Nations to respect the opinions and beliefs of people from all over the world and not take a position equal to the mood of certain countries.

“The continuation of such actions will severely damage the reputation of this organization and it will become clear that it looks at international issues only through the lenses of some countries,” he concluded. (ILKHA)
