The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada and the Chief Justice of Afghanistan Abdul Hakim Haqqani. CNN reported this.
The investigation chamber found that the Taliban, in governing Afghanistan, resulted in the violation of basic rights and freedoms of the civilian population, including killings, imprisonment, torture, rapes, and disappearances. The court suspected the Taliban of deliberately depriving girls and women of education, as well as personal and family life, and the freedom of movement, thought, conscience, and religion.
We remind you that in March 2023, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. In November 2024, an arrest warrant was also issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
