HRW slams ‘ruthless’ Taliban government as new law bans protest

This legislation, published by the justice ministry, restricts freedom of assembly and expression, which are fundamental rights in many countries. The impact of this law on the economy and markets is uncertain, but it may lead to increased tensions and instability in the region, potentially affecting trade and investment.
