The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for top Taliban leaders, including Supreme Leader Haibatullah Akhundzada and Chief Justice Abdul Hakim Haqqani. The court stated that there are strong grounds to believe they committed crimes against humanity by persecuting women and girls in Afghanistan based on gender.

The arrest warrants, for Afghanistan’s leader and its top justice official, say the restrictions on women and girls are evidence of crimes against humanity.

The International Criminal Court on Tuesday issued arrest warrants for two top Taliban leaders, accusing them of persecuting girls and women in Afghanistan.
