Fourth anniversary of the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan
That this House notes with deep concern the fourth anniversary of the Taliban’s seizure of power in Afghanistan; condemns the regime’s illegitimate rule and its systematic violations of human rights, including the repression of women and girls, persecution of ethnic minorities and the dismantling of democratic institutions; further notes reports of torture, arbitrary detention and the harbouring of terrorist groups; and urges the Government to maintain a policy of non-recognition, strengthen sanctions, support a peaceful political transition and ensure UK aid reaches those most in need without empowering the Taliban.
