An Amnesty International report provided more evidence Friday that undercut the Taliban’s claims they have changed.
The rights group said that its researchers spoke to eyewitnesses in Ghazni province who recounted how the Taliban killed nine ethnic Hazara men in the village of Mundarakht on July 4-6. It said six of the men were shot, and three were tortured to death. Hazaras are Shiite Muslims who were previously persecuted by the Taliban and who made major gains in education and social status in recent years.
The rights group warned that many more killings may have gone unreported because the Taliban cut cellphone services in many areas they’ve captured to prevent images from being published.
Reporters without Borders expressed alarm at the news that Taliban fighters killed the family member of an Afghan journalist working for German’s Deutsche Welle on Wednesday.
The broadcaster said fighters conducted house-to-house searches for their reporter, who had already relocated to Germany. It said the Taliban also raided the homes of at least three of its journalists.
Meanwhile, a Norway-based private intelligence group that provides information to the U.N. [???] said it obtained evidence that the Taliban have rounded up Afghans on a blacklist of people they believe worked in key roles with the previous Afghan administration or with U.S.-led forces.
In an email, the executive director of RHIPTO Norwegian Center for Global Analyses said the organization knew about several threat letters sent to Afghans, including a man who was taken from his Kabul apartment this week by the Taliban.
Under the Taliban’s previous rule, women were largely confined to their homes, television and music were banned, and public executions were held regularly. But leaders of the movement have pledged more moderation this time.

Rules of Engagement with Muslims -
If Infidels are present, Sunni with unite with Shi’a sects to enslave (physical, sex, monetary), convert, and annihilate all Infidels.
If no Infidels present, Sunni will turn against Shi’a until one or the other is enslaved or annihilated.
The rising population of Muslims over 1200 years shows the effectiveness of their tactics.
This smells like BS. The Taliban uses cell phones just like everyone else.
Maybe if the Afghan national army wasn't sitting around smoking hashish all day, they could've resisted this.
RE: fuel Afghans’ fears of return to repressive rule
Did anyone other than Biden’s staff really expect this not to happen?
Stolen elections have stolen consequences
This is going well.
“At least no ones dying...knock on wood”
Oh well, so much for that strategy Joe....now what??
They kill even when the population is 100% Islamist.
Look at Saudi Arabia. Their blood lust is never quenched. They turn to killing family members when there are no other infidels to kill.

As shown by the first two lines of this famous Arab saying.
I against my brothers.
My brothers and I against my cousins.
My brothers, my cousins, and I against strangers.
That is funny
What do you think the taliban are doing now? Setting up living arrangements for the Americans left behind? Giving them an EBT card, an OsamaPhone and a free prayer rug?
I cannot express my utter shock that the Taliban are not following through on their agreements! Biden apparently trusted them when they promised to allow people to leave and travel unmolested to the airport. I wonder if Joe stipulated that the people seeking to escape the Taliban be alive when they reach the airport? Probably not, after all Biden is not a deal maker like the actual president.
They’re killing the Bacha Bazi boy rapists and poppy farmers. The ones who couldn’t escape to America, that is.
Wrong byline. By Captain Fn Obvious. There. Fixed.
