Human Rights groups come together in Afghanistan to protect citizens

Afghanistan – Human Rights are at serious risk in Afghanistan which has made several human rights groups to come together and be a part of an alliance that will ensure practice and security of their rights.

As per a report compiled by Amnesty, a new alliance has been formed where human rights organizations are collectively trying to monitor the situation in Afghanistan. They will promote the human rights practices and advocate accountability for all violations and abuses.

Amnesty has established a strong base when it comes to human rights presence in the country especially after the take over of the land by Taliban last year. It becomes all the more necessary to ensure that rights are secured and civilian safety is not compromised at any cost.
