The Taliban's treatment of Afghan women and girls, including their exclusion from parks and gyms as well as schools and universities, may amount to a crime against humanity, a group of U.N. experts said on Friday.

The assessment by the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Afghanistan Richard Bennett and nine other U.N. experts says the treatment of women and girls may amount to 'gender persecution' under the Rome Statute to which Afghanistan is a party. "Confining women to their homes is tantamount to imprisonment," the experts said in a statement, adding that it was likely to lead to increased levels of domestic violence and mental health problems. The experts also cited as an example the arrest earlier this month ofThe Taliban took over from a Western-backed government in Aug. 2021. They say they respect women's rights in accordance with their interpretation of Islamic law.

MayBE Oh common....

Lol , the American treatment over Afghanistan maybe peaceful & democratical 🤡

No shit?!

US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan was crime against humanity not just women. Is that also a 'May be' ?

UN and UNH are useless

Biden did that. The women in Afghanistan have Biden to thank for that

May be? The completely useless UN is at it again.

usa too

Now WHO would have thought THAT?!?!?!?

😂😂😂

And they do anything for them or they just found out?

Imagine to declared yourself an 'expert' just to say 'may be' about something extremely obvious 🤦🏻‍♂️

Of course! Islam is anti-women!

We’ll the United Nations should should get in there in free those folks! Of course without the benefit of American troops or dollars

well the UN experts can say what they like, and the downside is, that they can not do nothing to stop it.

Shocking 🤣🤣

It's ok, it looks just like ray's tent city 🙃

How could the Taliban be anything except a crime against humanity? I did learn everything I know from the news, so I could be wrong.

Is this what NATO accomplished after 20 years of cooperation in Afghan?

All that is on biden's shoulders, he's the one that cut and run

… so is this!

Perhaps we should invade them, kick them out and bring democracy to the region. What could go wrong?

I'm sure UN experts are belonging to European countries.. And remember it Europe and western are not spoke person of humanity 😂🤣 Where they die when the issue came related to Palestine

Lets invade again and bomb them so we can give them financial compensation later for hitting civil targets like the Dutch did🐷😂

No crime.just arabian god punishment on womens and girls.

What the Jewish Apartheid regime's treatment of Palestinians would be? : You do know you're on the way to being an epic fail, right?

I can't wait until the Taliban makes it to the US and treats these Biden-voting hookers like they do in the Middle East. These women-hating women in the US are in for a rude awakening.

How about brutally aborting millions of babies with beating heart,mutilating children into the 'right genders' and promoting the heinous crime of sodomy in the west ? How about NATO bombing innocent civilians in Afghanistan killed and injuring million including women and children

UN should focus more on Palestine

The Taliban is a crime against humanity & decency!

Blocking billions$ of Afghanistan money and starving those innocent afghans to death sanctioning Thier country is not crime against humanity but telling a woman to put hijab is. What a brunch of crooked in UN

Ooooo … you don’t say. And when did this become news.

‘may be’ gggrrr

Go figure 🤡

What about American treatment of black?! UN human right only care about developing countries, how strange!

Maybe? It is a crime against humanity

Maybe! Seriously, it is!

I suppose so could the US sanctions that are helping starve most of the children and elderly in Afghanistan!

US-led NATO invasion, war and occupation of Afghanistan for 20 years is not a crime?

lol whats the UN going to do about it?

No shit, genius....

Yup and democrats armed them

Britain n those guided n led by her hv been setting rules for the world against the rules set n prescribed by The Divine. Britain n her accomplices are in rebellion against The Divine. They are Satanic n must be resisted. To commit sin is humane. To legalize sin is rebellion.

US invaded Afghanistan and was occupying it for 20 years, where were UN human rights watch and its experts?

Left alone by whom?

US's treatment of women is great, abortion is illegal in 11 U.S. States, according to Center for Reproductive Rights. Where are UN experts?

May?

Britain and those guided n led by her have been setting rules for the mankind against the rules set n prescribed by The Divine. Britain n her accomplices are in rebellion against The Divine. They are Satanic n must be resisted.

May be? IT IS

should we go in and arrest them? actually, we already spent 20 years killing them, then let them be when the bill got too high. Obama promised those women freedom, and Biden sold them back to the Taliban. party for women my ass.

US & its allied countries killed thousands of innocent children& women in the past 20 yrs war with their bombings & drone attacks, was not a crime against humanity,but when IEA finished cruelty & save millions of people life with islamic punishment,U so call it crime? Shame on U

Technically true , but since they fck up the US military after 20 years of war not much we can do about it ....

Maybe yeah yet US handed it over which is the savior of human rights and humanity

Maybe? That statement IS a crime!

So what will the UN do about this? Absolutely nothing, well, no actually. They will talk about it, they will issue some statements about it, they will make representations to the Afghan regime, then they will do absolutely nothing. UN experts at what exactly?

I doubt the Taliban gives any credence to UN law or the Rome Statute from a government that no longer exists. UN 'experts' use a technicality to call it Crimes Against Humanity vs. Taliban calling it Islamic Law. UN had their shot for 20+yrs. The people rejected it.

'May be a crime'. They treat women as second class citizens with no acess to education or employment opportunities and no personal freedom.

duh

So . What we we in the west going to impose on the Afghan regime. After we left then to it .

What do you mean 'May'.

Not 'may be'are the basic violation of woman's and human's rights. In the name God they abuse the women.every religions, communities accept changes by time but these people not agreed for changes over time.Barbaric male domination throwing slavery on women.Allah won't forgive.

... and what do they propose to do about it; nothing much, but it makes them feel better to say it out loud as they log on to their internet banking to check their salary has bee deposited on time.

maybe? maybe?

Write some words to CCP?

May be or maybe....both wrong!

Is!

wow it’s a good thing the UN has experts to recognize the Taliban mistreats women lol any man who mistreats a woman is a coward

'May be' ? Of course it is !

Wow, ground-breaking investigative journalism. Who would have thought.

No one needs to be told this. You bringing it up like this is more smoke.

As if Taliban cares?

MAY BE IS!!

Sensible religion. Nothing to do from outside world - already tried. They have to rise against the sitting power just as almost all free countries once have done in the past. Hard.

No kidding?

May be? Jesus, wtf is wrong with these people.

United States' treatment of black people is crime against humanity

Thanks to trump surrendering to them with no negotiations or stipulations. The deal maker is a fraud.

May? 🤦‍♀️

'may be' ?

No experts to be seen when the US bombs are thrown and people starved

Naaaa really? 🤷‍♂️ you say? OF COURSE!

Doh!!

France

Stop edging your headline, it's not necessary.

American women: 'Hold my beer.'

Seriously? It's been freaking against humanity since the dawn of time.

“may be”! Seriously 😐 Open ur eyes 👀

'may be'?! It is actually crime against humanity.

What do u mean may be? It definitely is.

Ya f*$king think?!

“May Be”? Wow.

Of course it is and always has been! How is this only being called out now?

'MAY BE'?! Point noted. UN is a sham anyways.

MarinK3 Of course it is!

I read about this in Hustler magazine in 1998

Well duh, now do North Korea

You don't say...

May be?

Maybe the other 99% of shit they do is as well

Joe did that

You don’t say.

No I think the taliban is amazing!

Why do you say ‘may’?

Yeah sorry UN and women of Afghanistan, all of twitter is busy trying to get elon musk cancelled

how do you make that out UN should keep out of this none of their business.

that is 'Islam' that its view & treatment of women is crime against humanity.

'Maybe'?!

Police Brutality in the USA may be crime against humanity: UN experts keep quiet.

May be? How's it a maybe? It's a CRIME.

Well finally the toothless tiger the UN speaks up that is clear woman are suffering crimes against humanity question is what are you going to do about. America spent 20 years billions of dollars on that war and the result is worse than before they went in.

I like facts, the majority of humans like facts, we feel very comfortable with facts & with verifiable truth ... FACT: 1. More than 50% of humans are female 2. Females are intrinsically created equal (& arguably are more equal than males). 3. We are in the 21st century. ♀️🏆;)

Fake news is a crime against humanity.

Taliban's treatment of women IS crime against humanity.

expert says Expert in WHAT exactly, fucking hating women

May?!?!? 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

QaderiHomeira Human Rights, UN.. are just beautiful jokes they do nothing for the sake of the world they themselves support terrorists

QaderiHomeira Yes it is a crime then why the world is watching? Why don’t they take serious actions to stop violence against women and ethnic groups in Afghanistan

Nah

Maybe ? my ass

Then, the whole Islam is against humanity.

May be a crime against humanity? It is a crime against humanity.

Yeah definitely.... Not. Fake news

We come full circle. 20 years of US occupation we were told we were winning. How do you go from winning for 20 years to losing in a few months? Oh, you were lying.

May be?!?

Duh.

And has been since 1994.

Margo_Glantz May be?

Yes, 'may be'? If ONE of the UN experts had to suffer the treatment of Afghan women for FIVE minutes, they knew about 'may be'.

And Israel treatment of Palestinians is crime against humanity.

eXpErTs

Then Joe shouldn't have armed them, paid them, and given them his undying loyalty and support. Should he?

Groundbreaking reporting from Reuters

UN is a joke

Yeah , where’s the human rights here. Make this global . Any Islam treatment that dictates what a woman does and wears should be made unlawful. It should be personal choice. Wheres all the campaigners now. Should be shouting from the rooftops

How us Moslim choose to raise our children is none of your business. The religion of inhuman rights, homosexuality, prnography, feminism, 70 genders, Male pregnancy, and the murder of unb0rn babies with beating hearts, is a true crime against humanity.

lol, Reuters & UN are playing catch-up with the obvious.

Don’t blame the Taliban. Blame Joe Biden. His senile Foreign Policies failed the Afghan People.

No shit it took you guys so long to figure this out. Shame on the world. If these were Jews you wouldn't stand still.

Who played the most important role in leaving that country in shambles? Yep, this guy…the “big guy”.

it should be but since it is a RELIGIOUS issue nothing will be done as long as the BIDY / DIM / TALIBAN are in POWER

MAY BE !!! How about ARE !!

So what is the UN going to do about it?

May be?! Of course it is!😡😠

What Afghanistan need is some freedom living truckers to put down POTUS JustinTrudeau 🤡🤡

So is giving Ukraine bombs and ignoring it when they shoot them at their own nuclear power plant just to blame Russia.

You can thank Pakistan.

“May be”?!

You mean the place we invaded 20 years? From the early 70s to 33 trillion missing money. And a few years after we leave then we start worring about girls. How many woman plus men get raped in our own U.S. military? And then we burn the poppy fields to plant better stuff. Go on

May be? It IS a fuking crime against humanity

Yah think…🤦‍♂️

IT IS ! there is no questions about that.

The civilized world decided this 20 years ago. The UN, however, is now on the case.

IranRevolution2022

It’s what the Afghan people voted for with their feet. We spent 20yrs, blood and $trillions to offer them a different future - which they resoundingly rejected. It’s time to leave them to it

May?

Nicht könnte! Es ist ein Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit. 😡😡😡

Reuters by itself is definitively a crime against humanity

'may be'

How are the women mistreated by the Taliban in Afghanistan? Can anyone with a concrete answer come forward and explain.

MAYBE? How much maybe necessary til it becomes certainly

They are just following their holy book!

Taliban's treatment of women may be crime against humanity,,,, no shit Sherlock!

Oh shut up. The UN has no creditability!

No shit

But what the US did in Afghanistan is pure class... understood

Judging is God's domain,not the Taliban.

Something the White House forgot to remind us to thank Biden for!

Crime against Humanity was US invasion and then handing control back over to terrorists .

Islam though. Can’t be Islamophobic

May.....?
