In May 1994 a pregnant woman was reportedly arrested in Darul-Aman district of Kabul by the armed guards of Hezb-e Wahdat. Her family has not been able to establish her whereabouts.
"She was a relative of mine. She had been arrested on her way home. We searched and searched for her and could not find her. The Mujahideen made life very difficult for women, abducting them, beating them and dishonouring them."
A woman reported to Amnesty International that in April and May 1994 in Kartay Nou, the combined forces of Hezb-e Islami and Hezb-e Wahdat attacked family homes of the Panjshiris (an ethnic group) in Kabul.
"They raped a lot of women. I knew a 60-year-old woman who had been raped. That same woman then went to the main commander of Hezb-e Wahdat to complain, but the commander did not pay any attention."
