KABUL (Reuters) - The United Nations' Mission to Afghanistan (UNAMA) on Monday said three of its female Afghan employees had been temporarily detained by Taliban security agents and called on the group to stop intimidation of its local female staff.
Taliban spokesmen said they strongly rejected the allegations.
UNAMA said in a statement that the three women employed by the U.N. had been singled out by armed security agents and detained for questioning temporarily on Monday, but did not provide further details about the incident.
"The UN calls for an immediate end to all such acts of intimidation and harassment targeting its Afghan female staff, calling on the de facto authorities to reiterate and enforce explicit guarantees for the safety and security of all U.N. personnel operating in Afghanistan," the U.N. mission (UNAMA) said in a statement.
