Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09), Co-Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, better known as the Helsinki Commission, today addressed the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s Parliamentary Conference concerning the human rights situation in Afghanistan.
In his remarks, Congressman Cohen condemned in the strongest terms the August 26 terrorist attack on the Kabul airport that killed American service members, and others, and more recent attacks on a Kabul hospital and mosque. He expressed concern about the fate of Afghans still in the country who worked for American interests, and for the journalists who are seeking safe passage out of the country but remain. He said the situation for women and girls whose opportunities have been taken away by the Taliban government is “not acceptable.”
