Sometimes the videos are misused," said Nasrullah Malikzada, head of the Panjshir department of culture.Earlier, the Ministry of Defense said it would investigate footage on social media about the killing of detainees, as per the Khaama Press and stated that the perpetrators would be brought to justice if it is proven that the footage is original and the incident took place in Panjshir, TOLOnews reported.Several reports have been published about the clashes between the Islamic Emirate forces and Resistant Front fighters--with both sides claiming to be inflicting casualties on each other.Earlier also, UN experts cautioned that Afghanistan's future is "bleak" if more is not done to improve the deteriorating human rights situation, especially for women and girls.Since they took control of the country in August 2021, the Taliban have violated women's and girls' rights to education, work, and free movement and decimated the system of protection and support for those fleeing domestic violence.
