RASC News Agency: The head of the political office of Afghanistan’s National Resistance Front (NRF) has affirmed that the organization is actively monitoring the conditions of its members, along with other political detainees, held in Taliban prisons. At the conclusion of the Vienna conference, Abdullah Khanjani addressed concerns regarding the fate of NRF prisoners, particularly those confined in Bagram prison, stating that the NRF remains committed to tracking the situation of all political prisoners across various affiliations. While he refrained from divulging specific details regarding NRF detainees, he emphasized that the organization is closely following their status.
Khanjani condemned the Taliban’s systematic repression, asserting that their brutality is not limited to armed resistance fighters but extends to civilians across Afghanistan at an unprecedented scale. “The Taliban’s oppression transcends political and military lines, affecting individuals from all walks of life,” he stated. He further revealed: “We are monitoring the conditions inside over 40 to 90 Taliban-controlled prisons, including Bagram. We are meticulously documenting human rights violations for the day when justice prevails. Moreover, we are actively collaborating with international watchdog organizations to address these crimes.”
Khanjani accused the Taliban of subjecting prisoners to systematic torture and inhumane treatment. The Taliban have established multiple detention facilities, and in August of this year, they officially reactivated Bagram Prison to incarcerate individuals accused of affiliations with the National Resistance Front, the Freedom Front, and ISIS-K. Reports indicate that dozens of prisoners are currently held under dire and degrading conditions. Earlier reports have painted a grim picture of the detainees’ circumstances, citing widespread allegations of brutal torture, inhumane mistreatment, and starvation tactics. Families of some prisoners have condemned the appalling conditions in Bagram, alleging relentless abuse while international humanitarian organizations remain barred from accessing the facility.
