Meanwhile, the Taliban continue their other crimes in the Dara district of Panjshir province. According to a report received by a Sangar correspondent, on Thursday, 1 Jadi (December 22), the Taliban arrested two minors named Farshad, the son of Muhammad Munir, and Shukrullah, the son of Safiullah, in the village of Abdullakhel during a volleyball game, severely beaten and tortured them.

From the beginning of the fall of Panjshir in September 2021 until May 2022, Dara was the safest and Taliban-free area of Panjshir, as it was ruled by local commander Haji Malikkhan, but in May 2022 a conflict arose between him and the Taliban. Haji Malikkhan joined the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan and since then the Taliban have also occupied in Dara.
Currently, according to available statistics, the Taliban committed most of their crimes against humanity in Dara. However, despite the publication of credible reports of war crimes by the Taliban, no human rights organizations and international media have paid attention to them, although the case of the mysterious murder of Iranian woman Mehsa Amini has been discussed by them for months.
