The human rights situation in Afghanistan during November and December 2025 continued to exhibit severe violations and systematic repression. Across these two months, multiple incidents were documented affecting civilians, women, religious minorities, and former government personnel. Extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances persisted, highlighting the ongoing impunity of armed groups and lack of accountability.
Public punishments, including mass floggings and executions, remained widespread, reflecting the Taliban’s continued reliance on fear and corporal penalties to enforce social control. Gender-based restrictions and attacks on civil liberties further intensified, with women facing severe limitations on mobility, education, and professional life.
Ethnic and religious minorities experienced harassment and discrimination, while arbitrary arrests and torture of former security personnel persisted. The overall pattern underscores a continuation of the year-long deterioration in human rights, adding new layers of targeted repression and restrictions in the last two months of 2025.
