RASC News Agency: Sources from Panjshir province reported on December 2nd that the Taliban group had recently apprehended a former soldier of the previous government in the province. The incident took place three days ago in Aryob village, Parian district. The Taliban group subsequently transferred the soldier to the head of their 40th intelligence unit in Kabul. The arrested soldier, identified as Azizullah, was a member of the police force under the previous government. The exact reason behind his arrest remains unknown at this time.
Despite the ongoing arrests, torture, imprisonment, and killings of Panjshir residents and military personnel by the Taliban group, the motive behind Azizullah’s arrest remains unclear. In a recent incident, four individuals from Annaba district in Panjshir province were detained by the Taliban group on charges of being members of the National Resistance Front in Kabul. It is important to note that the Taliban group has been widely accused of violating human rights, particularly targeting women and soldiers from the previous government, since their takeover of the country. Furthermore, they have recently intensified their efforts to arrest residents of Panjshir province under various pretexts.
While the Taliban group claims that they do not arrest soldiers from the previous government based on the orders of their leader, reports suggest otherwise. The actions of the group contradict their stated position, as they continue to target former government soldiers. The situation in Panjshir province remains tense as the Taliban group maintains control and carries out these arrests.
