Amnesty International expressed concerns over the violations of human rights in Afghanistan.

Amnesty International called on the UN Human Rights Council to establish an independent investigative mechanism in Afghanistan.

"The United Nations Human Rights Council must urgently establish an independent investigative mechanism in 

Afghanistan, with a mandate to establish the facts and circumstances relating to allegations of crimes under international law, to identify potential perpetrators, and to collect, consolidate, preserve, and analyse evidence for future international justice," the report reads. "The international investigative mechanism would complement the crucial mission of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Afghanistan, and the monitoring role of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan UNAMA."

"The closure of schools and deprivation of Afghan girls from education is clear (violations of human rights), it is surprising that the international organizations are still in the level of investigation," said Marriam Marouf Arveen, a human rights defender.

A resident of Kabul told TOLOnews: "We call on the Islamic Emirate to reopen the schools for girls as education is obligatory for men and women."

The Islamic Emirate meanwhile said that the rights of all citizens is ensured based on Islamic Sharia in the country.

"The rights that are given to the Muslim in the Islamic Sharia, these rights have been ensured here for men and women. The insufficiency that exist within some issues, including economic and social matters, we are trying to find a solution for that also. This propaganda is just to create concerns in the minds of (the public)," Islamic Emirate’s spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid said.

Earlier, the US Secretary Antony Blinken also voiced concerns over the recent decreea of the Afghan caretaker government which banned women from working at NGOs and participating in higher education.
