The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

This inflammatory report is inaccurate and only serves to paint the Taliban in a negative light. Torture and forced confessions are already prohibited, and authorities are investigating any violations. It's vital that the UN, rather than listening to the rumors of those who wish to sow discord, engage in real dialogue with the Islamic Emirate as it continues to work toward peace and security.

Times Now

Pro-establishment narrative

The Taliban's definition of necessary security and stability is one that engages in gross human rights violations against women, minorities, and dissidents. Its presence in the global community is a danger to us all, and UNAMA must continue to spend more time with the Afghan people, rather than the de facto authorities, and work to expose the truth of the oppression currently going unchecked.
