The United Nations is calling on the Taliban in Afghanistan to reform the way it treats prisoners, citing more than 1,600 human rights violations in a new report.
Over half of the violations were instances of torture or other degrading treatment, the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) report, released on Tuesday, said.
“The personal accounts of beatings, electric shocks, water torture, and numerous other forms of cruel and degrading treatment, along with threats made against individuals and their families, are harrowing. Torture is forbidden in all circumstances,” U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said.

Consider the insanity of “asking” a torturer to stop torture.
Ya like a group of tyrants who use torture will just stop when asked to by a group who just enabled them to reinstitute the practice.
There is no bigger collection of scum and vileness on earth than the members of the UN.

The Taliban is getting pissed. The payoffs to not kill the people Biden left there aren’t enough and most of the money goes to Ukraine.
There are so many reasons Washington DC needs to be cleared out and GITMO opened.

That should take care of it!
Now Pretendent Bite-Me can use the funds he was going to spend to keep the Taliban “in check” to money-laun..er..uh, I mean support Ukraine’s retirement accounts..er..uh, I mean provide arms to thwart the evil of Putin...while, of course, setting aside 10% for the “big guy”!
YAY! Everyone is happy!

Why is no-one calling on Ukraine to stop torture.
