Afghanistan’s Taliban-led interim government has dismissed a recent United Nations report on the country’s security, human rights, and economic situation, calling it inaccurate and misleading.
In a statement issued Saturday, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the quarterly report includes “inaccurate information” and is aimed at creating unnecessary concern.
“We categorically reject this report and consider it to be founded on misinformation and driven by an agenda of propagandistic distortion,” Mujahid said.
The UN report, released Thursday, documented 2,299 security-related incidents between February and April—an increase of 3% compared to the same period in 2024. It also highlighted ongoing concerns over restrictions on girls’ education and the overall human rights environment.
Mujahid responded by accusing the UN of portraying the situation unfairly, saying the report ignores what the Taliban describes as progress on the ground. He also argued that ordinary criminal cases had been wrongly classified as security incidents and claimed that similar crimes occur at higher rates in many other countries.
