Kabul [Afghanistan], December 7 (ANI): Reacting to the recent report issued by Human Rights Watch, the Taliban said that any Islamic Emirate member "found breaching the amnesty decree will be prosecuted and penalized."

In a report last week, the HRW said that Afghanistan's amnesty has not stopped "local commanders from summarily executing or disappearing former Afghan security force members."

The report was followed with a joint statement by the governments of the United States, European Union, and 20 other countries, expressing their concerns over the findings of the HRW, according to Tolo News.

"Mujahidin are fully committed to implementing amnesty decree and employees of the previous administration are not being persecuted for their former opposition," said Abdul Qahar Balkhi, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry tweeted.
