Excerpt:

About one a half months ago the Taliban began a compaign of intimidation of the local population in a large number of villages of Farah province in south west Afghanistan. The Taliban gunmen swarmed into villagers' houses in the dead of the night and took away all the men of the village, particularly younger men. Those arrested were subjected to cruel beatings and torture for " not handing over their weapons" and being against the Taliban.
