Installation of surveillance cameras in Kabul raises privacy concerns

Human rights groups are raising privacy concerns as surveillance cameras are planned to be installed around Kabul, Afghanistan, Reuters reports. An Interior Ministry spokesman said the cameras are being installed to “curb criminal and terrorist activities.” Peace and Human Rights Organization's Mohammad Nizam said, “Under current circumstances, honestly, it would be quite difficult for the masses to have full faith and trust that their privacy would not be harmed with the installation of these security cameras.”
