By publishing a statement on July 28, UN experts expressed their concern about the false information in the media about the event of the Human Rights Council regarding the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan.
It is stated in this announcement that a media called Afghanistan International misused an important discussion about the rights of Afghanistan women and girls at the Human Rights Council in June and invited an Afghanistani female speaker and a UN employee. The Afghanistan International media has launched a campaign about which we are worried.
It is written in this declaration that such events should create a safe space for the expression of a wide range of views. Not to attack people’s privacy. Criticism of speakers for the positions they take on human rights issues is acceptable; all participants must be free from intimidation, abuse, threats, or other forms of retaliation.
These experts worry about the consequences of personal attacks, invasions of privacy, and the spread of gender misinformation.
