ICC unseals arrest warrants for 4 Taliban leaders on gender persecution charges

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has unsealed arrest warrants for four senior Taliban leaders, accusing them of the crime against humanity of gender persecution. These charges specifically target the systematic denial of rights to women, girls, and the LGBTQ community in Afghanistan since the Taliban regained control in 2021. The warrants, issued last year, are for the Taliban's supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, head of the Supreme Court Abdul Hakim Haqqani, Education Minister Habibullah Agha, and Minister of Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadim.
