Since the occupation of Kabul, the Taliban have tried to present a more moderate face, saying they are interested in peace, that they will not retaliate against fighters on the other side and respect the rights of women in the country, within the framework of Islamic law.

However, a Norwegian intelligence group reported that the Taliban had begun preparing a blacklist of Afghans linked to the previous administration and the American forces that supported it.

U.S. Congressman Jason Crowe also claimed that the organization uses documents from an Afghan intelligence agency to identify civilians who worked for the United States.

The organization did not respond to these allegations.

In addition, reports from several local journalists have raised doubts about the promise to maintain free communication under the new regime.

Amnesty International also claimed that the Taliban had murdered nine Hazara members - an ethnic minority living across the country.

This raised concerns about the attitude of the organization, whose members are Sunni Muslims, towards the Shiite group for the most part.
