It is also a rare moment of vindication for Afghan activists, who over the last three years have often felt abandoned by the international community even as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/taliban\">Taliban<\/a>&nbsp;oppression deepened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shukria Barakzai, activist and former member of the Afghan parliament, said in a statement: \u201cThis historic announcement is a powerful message that impunity for flagrant violations of women\u2019s rights is not to be tolerated in Afghanistan or anywhere else in the world. We are deeply grateful to all our Afghan sisters who have worked relentlessly toward this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karim Khan, the ICC chief prosecutor, said in a statement that the Taliban\u2019s supreme leader, Haibatullah Akhundzada, and chief justice, Abdul Hakim Haqqani, are \u201ccriminally responsible\u201d for ongoing persecution of girls, women, the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur commitment to pursue accountability for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icc-cpi.int\/news\/policy-gender-based-crimes\">gender-based crimes<\/a>, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icc-cpi.int\/news\/policy-crime-gender-persecution\">gender persecution<\/a>, remains an absolute priority,\u201d he said. The team will file warrants for other senior Taliban officials soon, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2021\/aug\/16\/taliban-declares-war-is-over-in-afghanistan-as-us-led-forces-exit-kabul\">sweeping back to power in 2021<\/a>, the Taliban have issued more than 80 decrees that violate women\u2019s basic rights.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/2022\/jul\/18\/send-us-a-man-to-do-your-job-so-we-can-sack-you-taliban-tell-female-officials\">Women are barred from most work<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2021\/sep\/17\/taliban-ban-girls-from-secondary-education-in-afghanistan\">secondary education<\/a>&nbsp;and public spaces, and their daily life is restricted in various ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently the group banned windows in rooms frequently used by women, to ensure they could not be seen by men not related to them. New buildings should be constructed without windows in these rooms and existing windows should be covered up, the order stipulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Activists are campaigning for the crime of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/2024\/oct\/09\/what-is-gender-apartheid-activists-international-law-women-girls-rights-afghanistan-iran\">gender apartheid<\/a>&nbsp;to be recognised under international law, to reflect the scale of Taliban restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Akila Radhakrishnan, strategic legal adviser on gender justice for the Atlantic Council, said that although the ICC had sought to prosecute gender crimes before, this is the first time they had been the main focus in a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said: \u201cIt is a landmark, because this is the first time a case has been built around crimes of gender persecution. Usually, gender crimes are ancillary, an add-on to a case driven by other [crimes].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe request for an arrest warrant \u2026 demonstrates the systematic way in which these violations have been working in tandem to oppress girls and women under the Taliban\u2019s gender apartheid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There may not be any immediate consequences. Neither man is likely to travel anywhere they could face arrest \u2013 Akhundzada rarely even leaves his base in Kandahar \u2013 and the group has only responded with defiance to other international pressure over their treatment of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, Radhakrishnan said, even without any expectation of a day in court, the warrant sent an important message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said: \u201cIt helps to stigmatise what is happening in Afghanistan. We can now say that people engaging with the Taliban are on notice that what their officials are doing is criminal. There are warrant requests out for the most serious crimes that exist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afghan women who have endured violence and exile for demanding basic rights said the case marked a critical vindication of their struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zahra Haqparast was jailed by the Taliban in 2022 for protesting against restrictions on women\u2019s lives, and now lives in exile. She said: \u201cThis is the best news I\u2019ve heard since the Taliban came to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was cooking lunch when I heard the news, and I was so happy that I ran to check immediately if it was true. By the time I got back, an hour had passed and my food was burnt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite initial outrage at Taliban restrictions when the group seized power in 2021, Afghan women say an international community that once claimed to be fighting in their name has not done enough to fight back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heather Barr, deputy women\u2019s rights director at Human Rights Watch, said: \u201cThey have felt ignored by the world while the Taliban has systematically stripped their rights away day after day. This step by the ICC is a good start. Afghan women and girls are owed full justice for the Taliban\u2019s crimes and an end, now, to Taliban abuses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afghan activists also called on the court to seek justice for other crimes by several perpetrators over more than four decades of war in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is historic but it is insufficient,\u201d said Shaharzad Akbar, executive director of Rawadari, an Afghan human rights organisation. \u201cIt leaves out many victims of war crimes and other perpetuators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Published in Partnership with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/jan\/23\/icc-chief-prosecutor-seeks-arrest-warrants-for-taliban-leaders-over-persecution-of-women?CMP=share_btn_url\">the\u00a0Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The international criminal court\u2019s chief prosecutor has requested arrest warrants for the Taliban\u2019s supreme leader and Afghanistan\u2019s chief justice on the grounds that their persecution of women and girls in\u00a0Afghanistan\u00a0is a crime against humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override":[{"single_blog_custom":"","sidebar":"","second_sidebar":"","share_position":"","share_float_style":"","post_date_format":"","post_date_format_custom":"","post_reading_time_wpm":"","zoom_button_out_step":"1","zoom_button_in_step":"1","number_popup_post":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"","single_post_gallery_size":""}],"trending_post_position":"","trending_post_label":"","sponsored_post_label":"","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9581,902],"tags":[10577,10581,10579],"class_list":["post-31236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-our-work-en","category-reports-en","tag-icc-chief-prosecutor","tag-persecution-of-women","tag-taliban-leaders"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
