U.N. Rights Chief Shocked by Taliban’s ‘Outrageous’ Repression of Women in Afghanistan

The Taliban is repressing women and young girls in Afghanistan with unparalleled restrictions and will jeopardize the country’s future, a shocked U.N. rights chief warned Monday.

Volker Türk said new Islamic morality laws that ban women’s voices and bare faces in public, along with oppressive restrictions on education and most jobs, were outrageous and amounted to systematic gender persecution.

“I shudder to think what is next for the women and girls of Afghanistan,” Türk told the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Well, he’s the “rights chief”. Why don’t the third world azho do something? At least start a GoFunMe page for them.

Would you rather be repressed by the taliban or trafficked by the UN? The latter, you might get to see Davos.

Some people really are this stupid. The only real shock is that they make it to positions of authority.

On Trumps first day in office, and it will be a long one. The U.N. must be tossed out our country!

They aren’t shocked, they are just being forced to now admit it because of the growing calls to do something

They live in a cocoon and are shocked by the real world when they periodically venture out into it. It’s a world of their own making in most cases.

Uhh, well paid garbage. Like Baghdad Bob, or the muppet who pretends to put on BeijingBiden’s press conferences.

U.S. ‘left behind’ 78,000 Afghan allies in chaotic withdrawal: NGO report

US State Department report details damning failings around chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal

Afghan withdrawal leaves allies to face harsh reality of US’s departure from world stage: While President Joe Biden’s withdrawal of troops by August 31 is inevitable, the speed at which the situation descended into chaos, and the White House’s lack of contrition and flexibility has left allies spinning. On Tuesday, Biden’s fellow G7 leaders, led by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, pressed the US President to extend that deadline in order to get foreign citizens, Afghan people who have aided allied troops and other vulnerable groups out of the country. But Biden stood firm. As America’s allies – most notably in Europe – see it the United States is walking away, washing its hands of a crisis it played a large part in creating, and with scant regard for the problems that doing so creates elsewhere.

Lessons From Biden’s Very Bad Week The U.S. president’s refusal to acknowledge error has dismayed supporters and European allies.

The Uncomfortable Truth of Biden’s Rapid Afghanistan Withdrawal In Kabul, it is increasingly clear that the U.S. departure is so rushed and poorly planned that it will be impossible to evacuate everyone at risk of Taliban reprisal.

Contradicting Biden, top generals say they recommended a small force stay in Afghanistan Biden has received fierce criticism over his administration’s handling of the withdrawal and failure to predict the Taliban’s quick return to power.
