> The International Criminal Court detailed arrest warrants against four Taliban leaders and issued two additional warrants. They are accused of crimes against humanity for persecuting women, girls and LGBTQ+ people in Afghanistan since the Taliban took power in 2021. The Taliban rejected the warrants and said it does not recognize the court’s authority.
