Two civilians were also murdered as they tried to run away, including a 17-year-old girl who was shot as the Taliban fired into a group of people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThese cold-blooded executions are further proof that the Taliban are committing the same horrific abuses they were notorious for during their previous rule of Afghanistan,\u201d said Agn\u00e8s Callamard, Amnesty International\u2019s Secretary-General.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThey repeatedly violate the rights of those they perceive as their adversaries, even killing those who have already surrendered. The Taliban say they are not targeting former employees of the previous government, but these killings contradict such claims.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe Taliban must immediately cease these cruel acts of revenge, and ensure employees of the former government and their families can live safely in Afghanistan. The new government must make clear that such grave violations will not be tolerated, and that those responsible will be prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After the killings, the Taliban reportedly informed remaining relatives that anybody who had run away should come back, and surrender within three days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Interviewees told Amnesty International that one senior Taliban official said: \u201cI have killed people for the past 20 years. Killing is easy for me. I can kill again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The report comes as the Taliban has tried to appeal to the wider world to become a member of the global community. Last month, the terrorist organization requested to speak to international leaders at the United Nations \u201cand nominated their Doha-based spokesman Suhail Shaheen as Afghanistan\u2019s U.N. ambassador, according to a letter seen by Reuters,\u201d per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/exclusive-taliban-names-afghan-un-envoy-asks-speak-world-leaders-2021-09-21\/\"><span class=\"s1\">the outlet<\/span><\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The killings confirm that the group is still operating as it has in the past by brutally murdering innocent people in order to enforce its brutal regime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/blog-briefing-room\/news\/575381-rights-group-alleges-taliban-unlawfully-killed-13-ethnic\">reported<\/a> by The Hill, \u201cHazaras, an ethnic minority in Afghanistan, make up of only 9 percent of the population of the landlocked country. They have long been persecuted by the Taliban as&nbsp;they&nbsp;follow the Shia branch of Islam&nbsp;in the Sunni-majority country.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Biden administration\u2019s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the Taliban takeover of the country and resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and over a hundred Afghans. It also left behind 100 to 200 Americans in the country.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/afghan-ambassador-says-biden-administration-wont-meet-with-her-afghans-wont-soon-trust-a-u-s-president\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, a Qatari evacuation flight with Americans took off from Afghanistan earlier this week, as confirmed to ABC News.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe State of Qatar is pleased to have worked with a number of parties on the ground as well as its international partners to make this flight possible,\u201d a senior Qatari government official told ABC News in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/live-updates\/afghanistan-withdrawal-live-updates\/?id=79482353\"><span class=\"s1\">statement<\/span><\/a>. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cUpon arriving to Qatar, the passengers will be transported to the compound facility currently hosting Afghan civilians and other evacuees,\u201d the official said. \u201cThere, they will be able to take a COVID-19 test, rest and remain in Doha until departing to their final destinations.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
