Taliban Governor in Parwan Urges Fighters to Treat Civilians Properly Amid Complaints
As complaints about the conduct of Taliban forces towards citizens continue, Aziz-ur-Rahman Mansour, the Taliban governor of Parwan province, has urged newly graduated fighters to behave appropriately with the people.
Bakhter News Agency, controlled by the Taliban administration, reported on Wednesday, August 5, that 309 fighters from the group received graduation certificates after completing a one-month training course at the Parwan Police Training Center. The ceremony was held in the presence of local officials.
This request comes at a time when many residents across the country criticize the behavior of Taliban forces, especially the morality police of the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. Some citizens say that the imposed restrictions and their enforcement have made daily life difficult and, in some cases, led to social harassment and pressure.
In previous years, human rights activists and international organizations have repeatedly expressed concern over the Taliban’s extensive restrictions on education, work, individual freedoms, and the conduct of their forces towards Afghan citizens. These criticisms have consistently been denied or downplayed by the Taliban administration.
