The Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) on Monday called for action to secure justice in cases where Afghan citizens have been attacked or killed.
They warned that impunity for crimes by Taliban operatives against Afghan citizens was widespread.
The AIHRC said many Taliban prisoners have been apprehended red-handed while committing crimes but have not been prosecuted.
As such they called on the Afghan government to ensure justice is meted out and that the law is implemented.
Negligence regarding the rule of law in the country is distressing, warned AIHRC chief executive Musa Mahmoudi, adding that such an approach could only prolong the culture of impunity.
In response to AIHRC allegations, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has said that the arrest of Taliban operatives and their associates have been at the top of the working agenda of government.
