Incident 1 October 2026 Kabul province AHRC-2026-1001-KAB-01

Summary

In early October 2026, Taliban Ministry of Justice teams and armed men moved through Omid Sabz township in western Kabul. The township has about 80,000 residents, mostly Hazara. The teams inspected homes, sealed empty houses and ordered tenants to pay rent to the ministry instead of their landlords. They also threatened residents with eviction, after a Taliban court declared the land state property. More than 30 residents were reportedly detained and beaten, then made to promise to leave within two days. Between 100 and 200 homes may already be vacated, and Taliban members are moving into some of them. Hazara and Shia community representatives describe the measures as discriminatory forced displacement.
