RASC News Agency: In the ongoing series of arbitrary arrests targeting Afghanistani citizens, particularly those residing in Panjshir province, by the Taliban group, a recent incident has come to light. Local sources have confirmed the arrest of a religious scholar in this region, adding to the growing list of human rights violations committed by the Taliban.
The scholar, Mawlawi Saifullah, previously served as the preacher of the “Jar Ali” mosque in Abshar district. According to sources, he was apprehended by the Taliban group in the “Jar Ali” area of Abshar district and subsequently transported to an undisclosed location.
While the exact motive behind this arrest remains unknown, there are suggestions that it may be due to the scholar’s failure to mention the name of the Taliban leader during his Friday prayer sermon. This incident highlights the oppressive nature of the Taliban’s rule and their disregard for freedom of speech and expression.
Despite the increasing number of arbitrary arrests of civilians, particularly in Panjshir province, by the Taliban across the country, no official statement has been provided by the Taliban group in Panjshir province regarding this incident. This silence raises concerns about their intentions and the safety of residents in the area.
It is important to note that the Taliban group had previously issued instructions to mosque preachers in certain provinces, demanding the inclusion of their leader’s name in their Friday prayer sermons. Such directives further exacerbate the oppressive environment created by the Taliban. Their actions extend beyond arrests and include instances of violence and aggression. For instance, reports indicate that the group was responsible for shooting four youths from Panjshir in Kabul, as well as causing the death of a civilian in Kandahar province.
As the Taliban group continues to target Afghanistani citizens, particularly those residing in Panjshir province, the situation remains tense. The arrest of a religious scholar in this region further highlights the group’s oppressive tactics and their expectation of complete loyalty and obedience from the citizens.
The motive behind this arrest is still unclear, but it is evident that the Taliban group expects complete loyalty and obedience from the citizens. The lack of response from the Taliban group in Panjshir province regarding this incident raises concerns about their intentions and the safety of the residents in the area.
