Every day, human rights activists, journalists and government workers are killed in Afghanistan.

Killed by gunshot or in the explosion of their car bomb.

These assassinations are rarely claimed.

The authorities accuse the Taliban.

A campaign of terror has taken hold in the country for a few months, despite the peace negotiations that began in September 2020.
