Local sources in Kabul told Chiragh Television on Monday that a former soldier named Kabiri Akbari was arrested by Taliban intelligence in the Bagh-e Babur area and transferred to an unknown location.
According to the source, Kabiri Akbari had fled to Iran following the Taliban’s return to power and had returned to Afghanistan about a month ago.
The source further added that Akbari had served as a soldier in the Afghan National Army during the previous republican government.
It should be noted that international human rights organizations have documented several cases of illegal detention and torture of former military personnel, although the Taliban deny these claims.
