Taliban Denies Threatening Women Among UN Staff

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A U.N. report says dozens of its female Afghan staff have received death threats related to their work. The U.N. report published on Sunday is the latest update on the human rights situation in Afghanistan. The U.N. mission to the country said that female national staff were subjected to explicit death threats in May from unidentified individuals. The Taliban told the U.N. mission that their personnel weren’t responsible for the threats. The report said that an Interior Ministry investigation is underway. Afghan authorities didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on the report or the investigation.
