Taliban’s ‘General Amnesty’ Exposed: Over 8,000 Former Government Officials Barred from Leaving Afghanistan

Published 06/02/2025
SHARE

RASC News Agency: An official Taliban document has surfaced, revealing that in 2024, approximately 8,192 former government officials and personnel have been placed under an exit ban. The directive, issued by the Taliban’s Directorate of Oversight and Implementation of Decrees formerly the Attorney General’s Office states that these individuals are barred from leaving Afghanistan due to alleged legal cases, each comprising “dozens of volumes.” According to the leaked document, Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada personally issued a handwritten decree stipulating that none of these individuals may exit the country without his explicit written approval.

Despite the Taliban’s initial claims of a “general amnesty” for former Afghanistan government officials following their takeover, the regime has since compiled extensive case files against them, in some instances spanning hundreds of pages. Recently, a hacker group leaked a trove of classified documents from several key Taliban ministries, including the Directorate of Oversight and Implementation of Decrees. Portions of these files have since been disseminated across media platforms and social networks. An additional memorandum on travel restrictions specifies that even Taliban officials facing criminal or investigative cases are prohibited from leaving the country without direct authorization from their supreme leader. While the precise nature of the charges against former officials remains undisclosed, the move appears to be a calculated effort to systematically prosecute and suppress ex-government figures.

It remains unclear how many of these individuals have been subjected to interrogation, whether their cases have undergone formal judicial review under Taliban-controlled courts, or if legal rulings have been issued against them. The broader implications of this directive further underscore the Taliban’s tightening grip on power and their departure from previous assurances of clemency.
