UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett
@SR_AfghanistanOct 23
I join other UN mandate holders warning #EU and other states that they must not send Afghans back to danger and must uphold their international human rights obligations, including the principle of non-refoulement. There must be no normalisation or legitimation of the Taliban unless there are concrete improvements in human rights. Meetings with Taliban delegations such as in Brussels are regrettable and even when designated “technical” risk normalisation of gross human rights violations by the Taliban, including gender persecution. We wait replies to our official communications to the EU and some states. Please read the full statement:

Non-refoulement is absolute & non-derogable. No exceptions allowed, no assurances from dfA can neutralize this risk. Torture remains a genuine risk in #Afghanistan. I urge the EU & its member states not to return Afghans to danger. @EU_Commission

Why are we rolling out the red carpet for 17,500 Afrikaners with no ties here while stranding 1,100 Afghan allies who risked their lives for our country? “Assimilation” isn’t an answer. It’s a dog whistle. And it’s wrong.

A federal court has just ordered that @StateDept to notify all SIVs who have received Chief of Mission approval but haven’t yet interviewed or received their visa that their visas will be denied if they interview. This is the language they’ll receive.

Afghans risked their lives to help the U.S. as advisors, interpreters, and special operation forces. Turning our backs on our allies—including family members of U.S. servicemembers and hundreds of children—to send them to war-torn DRC is evil and wrong. nytimes.com/2026/04/21/world…

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

 Mullin once suggested it should. Now he can prove it, I argue in WaPo. Gift link. wapo.st/4c2ZgnS
