KABUL (Pajhwok): A global rights watchdog says the US leader’s decision on Afghan asset is “unjust and unfair” and asked for its reversal.
Earlier, President Joe Biden moved to freeze about $7 billion in assets held in US financial institutions by the Afghan central bank in the wake of the Taliban takeover.
Biden vowed to direct $3.5 billion to humanitarian aid and preserve the rest for families of victims of the September 11 terror attacks.
In a statement, Amnesty International faulted Biden’s decision to divert $3.5 billion of Afghanistan’s frozen assets to settle legal claims . . .
