These are the faces of former Afghan National Defense and Security Forces personnel who were killed after the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan.
In the past three months alone, we have documented more than 184 former soldiers killed, many subjected to horrific torture. The danger has only grown as former soldiers are deported back to Afghanistan, particularly from Iran and Türkiye.
We refuse to forget them. We will continue to document every crime, preserve every name, and pursue justice for every victim. Those responsible for murder, torture, and other abuses must be held accountable under the law. No regime can secure its future through fear and brutality.
To those who still sympathize with the Taliban, look at these faces and ask yourself: what if this were your father, your mother, your brother, your sister, your son, or your daughter?
These are not statistics. They were Afghans. They were our soldiers. They are our brothers and sisters. We will remember them, we will honor them, and we will never stop pursuing justice.
