"This report, a collaborative effort by the World Organization Against Torture (OMCT), the Civil Society and Human Rights Network (CSHRN), and Human Rights Defenders Plus (HRD+), present an analysis of the widespread use of torture and other forms of ill-treatment by the de facto government and in particular in the de facto General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) detention centers in Afghanistan since the Taliban's return to power in August 2021. It builds on a long-standing partnership between OMCT and CSHRN, documenting torture in Afghanistan since 2017, with the aim of exposing abuses, amplifying survivor voices, and advocating for accountability."
