The State Department has released a frightening report on human rights practices in Afghanistan. Routine Torture, Women in Detention Becoming Slaves, Detained Children Used for Sex, and Trial Procedures Violating Basic Justice are only some of the horrendous issues touched upon in this report.
"The practice of courts ordering the defendant to provide compensation in the form of young girls in marriage to a victims' family continued. Human rights organizations reported that local authorities continued to routinely torture and abuse detainees - consisting of pulling out fingernails and toenails, burning with hot oil, beatings,sexual humiliation, and sodomy."
