Law students and young lawyers in Afghanistan are reporting for JURIST on the situation there after the Taliban takeover. For privacy and security reasons, we are withholding the name of our correspondent filing this dispatch.
Three days ago, at a checkpoint in Herat, the terrorist group of the Taliban tried to stop a bike rider, but he didn’t obey and he escaped. Then they opened fire, and a bullet mistakenly hit another innocent man, and now he is in a coma.
Actually, this shows how simple people get killed by the inconsiderate, cruel, ignorant, and dark group of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
They don’t know how to use their weapons, and there is no regulation for using them in public places, and there is no judicial procedure for this soldier of the Taliban. This is a clear example of the lack of rule of law in Afghanistan.
Every act of the Taliban demonstrates more cruelty, injustice, violence, and regression.
They are yelling that they brought security and peace to the people, but in fact, they are the main elements bringing insecurity and war in Afghanistan. They kill people carelessly because this is what they used to do, and this is what they did to get power after an unequal and unfair war for many years in Afghanistan. But there is no punishment for them.
