The Taliban government disbanded Afghanistan's independent human rights commission, deeming it was"not considered necessary" despite the regime's record of abuses.
"We have some other organizations to carry out activities related to human rights, organizations that are linked to the judiciary," deputy government spokesman Inamullah Samangani told AFP."These departments are not considered necessary, so they have been dissolved. But in the future, if they are needed, then they can resume their operations."Most of the commission's work was stymied after the Taliban seized power last year after U.S. forces withdrew.
