Geneva: United Nations Human Rights Office on Friday said that the Taliban response to a peaceful parade in Afghanistan was getting cruel, with the authorities using live ammunition, sticks and whip that had produced at least four deaths of protesters.
Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesman for the United Nations Rights, told the United Nations Briefing in Geneva that they had received a home-to-home search report for those who participated in protests.
Journalists also face intimidation and one of them being beaten in detention verbally threatened with beheading, he added.
