The Taliban is carrying out reprisal attacks against former soldiers and government workers, the UN has been told, as a video emerged showing Islamist fighters forcing young men into car trunks in the capital Kabul.
Michelle Bachelet, speaking at the Human Rights Council on Monday, said she has seen 'credible reports' that Taliban fighters are searching house-to-house to track down anyone who helped the former government or US.
'Officials who worked for previous administrations and their family members [are] being arbitrarily detained,' she said. 'In some cases, the officials were released, and in others, they were found dead.'
As she spoke, footage appeared online showing men, some of whom appear to be Taliban fighters forcing at least four men into car trunks.
