The project by the independent, non-profit Center for Information Resilience is meant to draw wider attention to the surge in abuses against civilians, journalists, and ethnic minorities across the troubled country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With more than 1,300 data points of incidents since Aug. 17, 2021, the map is part of the center\u2019s Afghan Witness initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"2708\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23137526602590.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"Afghan women chant and hold signs of protest, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday, Dec. 27, 2021.\" class=\"wp-image-106855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23137526602590.jpg.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23137526602590.jpg.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23137526602590.jpg.jpg?resize=768,516 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23137526602590.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,688 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23137526602590.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1032 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23137526602590.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1375 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Afghan women chant and hold signs of protest, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday, Dec. 27, 2021. (Mohammed Shoaib Amin\/AP, File)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe map reveals the violence and human rights abuses occurring under Taliban rule against women, independent journalists, and minorities, sometimes in the form of ad hoc beatings in the street or staged public punishment, as well as violence used to suppress peaceful protest and armed resistance,\u201d said Benjamin Den Braber, lead analyst at Afghan Witness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He described the map as a \u201ctransparent record of verified human rights violations in Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we can verify represents only the tip of the iceberg of human rights violations in Afghanistan; many abuses are hidden from view and never recorded online,\u201d Den Braber said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Britain-based center has used open-source data and techniques to investigate human rights abuses, war crimes and disinformation in Afghanistan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ukraine<\/a>, and Myanmar. To develop the map, the Afghan Witness team collaborated with C4ADS, a U.S.-based group that uses data-driven analysis and technology to shine a light on conflicts, instability, environmental crimes and human rights abuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur ability to tell the stories of the Taliban\u2019s human rights abuses through visualization is a powerful tool,\u201d said Lawrence Henderson, a program director at C4ADS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this month, a report released by the United Nations strongly criticized the Taliban for carrying out public executions, lashings and stoning, and urged them to halt such practices. In the past six months alone, 274 men, 58 women and two boys were publicly flogged in Afghanistan, according to the report by the U.N. mission in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Taliban seized Afghanistan in mid-April 2021, during the last weeks of the U.S. and NATO troops drawdown from the country. Despite initial promises of a more moderate rule than during their previous stint in power in the 1990s, they swiftly moved to impose harsh measures in line with their strict interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the months following their takeover, the Taliban gradually tightened restrictions on women, barring them from public spaces, such as parks and gyms, and banning education for girls beyond the sixth grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The restrictions have triggered an international uproar, increasing the country\u2019s isolation at a time when its economy has collapsed \u2014 and worsening a humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Afghan Witness map contains more than 450 pieces of footage showing attacks on civilians, more than 100 clips of attacks in the minority Shiite and Hazara communities, and more than 350 videos of protests. A viewer can search for a particular incident using keywords, access footage, original tweets or a report about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfghan Witness investigates, verifies where possible and archives data in the hope that one day accountability mechanisms will bring the perpetrators to justice,\u201d said David Osborn, a team leader at Afghan Witness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A statement released Thursday alongside the map, which can be accessed through the website of the Center for Information Resilience, said that the project \u201cwill continue to work with journalists around the world and civil society in Afghanistan to increase access to accurate, reliable sources of information.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A U.K.-based rights group launched an interactive map documenting human rights abuses since the Taliban seized power in
