KABUL, 17 May 2022, (TON): According to a UN statement “the UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, Richard Bennett, is reportedly scheduled to visit Afghanistan from May 15 to May 26.”

The statement said “Bennett said he would engage with the de facto authorities and a broad range of stakeholders to assess the situation of human rights, including with regard to the implementation of obligations under international human rights instruments ratified by Afghanistan, and to offer assistance to address and prevent violations and abuses.”

Based on some reports, Bennett will visit Afghan provinces as well.

Walif Frozan, an international relations analyst said “unarmed people are being tortured, killed and mistreated. Mr. Bennett can provide a neutral report which can cover all cases.”
