The Taliban threat to target civilians at #election campaign rallies and public gatherings is repugnant. It is every #Afghan ’s right to have their say in the future of their country and to be able to participate freely and without fear in a democratic electoral process.

“These threats demonstrate a chilling disregard for human life. At a time when the Taliban claims to be pursuing peace, it is threatening to carry out war crimes by attacking civilians at election rallies." Afghanistan: Taliban threatens political rallies
