Hundreds of children in Afghanistan are being forgotten, detained for alleged involvement with the Taliban or other armed groups, and often tortured in facilities run by government security forces.
They are charged with vaguely worded “terrorism offenses” and may be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. Many are detained solely because of their parents’ alleged involvement with insurgent groups.
During Afghanistan’s conflict, armed forces and groups have used children to carry out suicide attacks, plant improvised explosive devices, and participate in hostilities. Afghan security forces have also recruited and used children.
