The parents of Reuters photographer Danish Siddiqui, who was killed in Afghanistan last year, have launched legal action against the Taliban terrorist group at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, 38, was killed on July 16, 2021 as the terrorist group gained control of the country. Siddiqui was accompanying an Afghan special forces unit to Spin Boldak, a town near the Afghanistan–Pakistan border, before his death.
