Reports, videos, and photos have begun to surface that expose alleged barbaric behavior of Taliban members, contradicting claims made by the group’s top officials that they will respect the rights of the Afghan people and won’t commit reprisal killings.
A photographer with the Los Angeles Times captured photos on Aug. 18 around the Kabul airport, where throngs of people have gathered, trying to flee the country and Taliban rule. The photos showed Taliban members beating members of the crowd, including the photographer.
