Taliban extremists brutally massacred several members of the minority Hazara community after taking control of Ghazni province, according to a recent report from human rights organization Amnesty International, disputing public claims that the Taliban will provide amnesty for certain groups after taking over Afghanistan this week.
“On-the-ground researchers spoke to eyewitnesses who gave harrowing accounts of the killings, which took place between 4–6 July in the village of Mundarakht, Malistan district,” said Amnesty. Six Hazara men were shot and “three were tortured to death, including one man who was strangled with his own scarf and had his arm muscles sliced off,” the report added.
