ICC unseals four Taliban arrest warrants over persecution of women

Original: ICC unseals four arrest warrants over Taliban persecution of women and girls The International Criminal Court (ICC) has

The International Criminal Court has made public four arrest warrants against senior Taliban figures, accusing them of persecuting women and girls in Afghanistan. Prosecutors say the systematic repression of women's rights amounts to a crime against humanity. The move is a rare step against an authority the court has charged over gender-based persecution, though the Taliban government is unlikely to hand over any of the suspects.
