RASC News Agency: Reliable sources from Kabul report that Seyed Nabi Nabil, a senior diplomat from the Second Political Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been detained. Sources told the media on Friday, April 26, that the Taliban arrested the diplomat the previous evening from his home in the Masoud Township area of the 15th district of Kabul.
It is unclear why the Taliban detained Nabil, who is also a member of Afghanistan’s Jamiat-e-Islami party. Seyed Nabi Nabil is originally from Sang-e-Atesh village in Far Khār district of Takhar province. He previously served as the deputy ambassador of Afghanistan to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia under the previous government.
Nabil was one of the key figures in the initial resistance movement led by Ahmad Shah Massoud. After the Taliban regained control, he worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under their administration while living in Kabul. The Taliban have yet to comment on the matter.
During the more than two years of Taliban rule, the group has been repeatedly accused by human rights organizations of detaining, torturing, and even killing former government employees and military personnel. Nevertheless, despite reports of such actions by the Taliban, the group continues to deny these allegations.
