A Taliban commander said that those responsible for atrocities "cannot be forgiven."
Over 100 police and intelligence officers in Afghanistan have been either killed or disappeared in action by the Talibani officials.
The Human Rights Watch (HRW) has documented the killing or disappearance of 47 former members of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) - military personnel, police, intelligence service members, and militia - who had surrendered to or were arrested by Taliban forces between August 15 and October 31.
The rights group gathered credible information on more than 100 killings from Ghazni, Helmand, Kandahar, and Kunduz provinces alone.
"The Taliban leadership's promised amnesty has not stopped local commanders from summarily executing or disappearing former Afghan security force members," said Patricia Gossman, associate Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
