Arbitrary detention in Afghanistan : a call for action

Throughout Afghanistan, Afghans are arbitrarily detained by police, prosecutors, judges, and detention center officials with alarming regularity. It is systemic and occurs in a variety of forms. Arbitrary detention violates the Constitution of Afghanistan, and the international human rights standards to which Afghanistan has committed. In particular, it violates the right of all Afghans to liberty and to due process of law and erodes their dignity. Another consequence of arbitrary detention is overcrowding in Afghanistan's detention centers. Also, arbitrary detention often places detainees' families under unnecessary socio-economic hardship because income and social standing is lost. Widespread arbitrary detention erodes public confidence in the judicial system and in the government as well. To reverse this pattern, the Government of Afghanistan (GoA) committed to develop and implement corrective measures both in the Afghanistan Compact and the Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS), as well as in the National Justice Progamme. In order to assist the GoA in its efforts, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), with the cooperation of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), monitored detainees in Ministry of Interior (MoI) [police] and Ministry of Justice (MoJ) detention facilities throughout Afghanistan from November 2006-July 2008. This report draws upon this field monitoring to discuss the patterns and causes of arbitrary detention and to make recommendations on measures to effectively combat it. This report does not cover conflict-related detentions, including those by the National Directorate for Security (NDS) or international military forces (IMF). First, monitoring found that Afghans are often detained without a legal basis, including for so-called 'moral crimes', breaches of contractual obligations, for family disputes, or to pressure a relative or associate into confession. Second, there are indications that Afghans have been detained in order to deny them fundamental rights, particularly that of freedom of expression and many of the fundamental rights of women. Third, Afghans are detained without enjoying essential procedural protections, rendering many detentions arbitrary
