Weeks after video of Taliban members executing National Resistance Front fighters drew the United Nations to call for justice, the Taliban continue to engage in similar violence. But the Taliban are also indiscriminately targeting members of the Tajik community, conflating their ethnicity with allegiance to the NRF.

According to a doctor working with American volunteer Leslie Merriman to provide healthcare services to Afghans, the Taliban searched in Kapisa province, this week, for Afghans who cannot speak Pashto. Pashto is the dialect spoken by the country’s Pashtun majority. The doctor told Merriman that the Taliban shot 10 Tajik boys and young men outside their homes while their families watched. Merriman said Taliban fighters removed the bodies of their victims in order to hide evidence of their crimes.
