People's Court Launched to Document Taliban Crimes Against Women

Elaha Fri Aug 2025 4 months ago 309

According to a statement released on Thursday, this court was initiated by four Afghan civil society organizations in collaboration with and under the supervision of the "Permanent People’s Tribunal."


The statement reads: "Afghan civil society, through the establishment of this court, seeks to hold the Taliban accountable for the systematic suppression of women over the past four years and to garner the attention and support of countries that advocate for human rights."


The court has warned that the continued silence of the international community regarding the situation of women in Afghanistan could lead to the legitimization of widespread human rights violations. Additionally, the court expressed concern over Germany’s acceptance of Taliban diplomats and speculations about the potential recognition of the group by Russia.


According to the organizers of this initiative, four prosecutors are currently preparing a formal indictment against the Taliban, and the composition of the judicial panel is set to be announced next week.


This comes as the International Criminal Court (ICC) has recently issued arrest warrants for Hibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban leader, and Abdul Hakim Haqqani, the head of the group’s Supreme Court, on charges of "crimes against humanity."

Shahrzad Akbar, the former head of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, has announced the official launch of the "People’s Court for Afghan Women," a symbolic court established with the aim of advocacy, documentation, and examination of systematic human rights violations by the Taliban, particularly against women.
