KABUL (Pajhwok): The caretaker government on Tuesday accused the United Nations and western countries of spreading propaganda against it.
The reaction came a day after UN’s Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Richard Bennett presented report on Afghanistan in Geneva, saying the treatment of women in Afghanistan could amount to gender apartheid as their rights continued to be gravely infringed up by the de facto authorities.
"Grave, systematic and institutionalized discrimination against women and girls is at the heart of Taliban ideology and rule, which also gives rise to concerns that they may be responsible for gender apartheid," he added . . .
