Sources in Kabul claim that the Taliban have killed an employee of the German organization GIZ in the city.
Former employees of the institution and relatives of Hamidullah Bahlol have written on their Facebook page that he was killed two days ago (Sunday, June 18) in Kabul.
Bahlol had recently traveled to Germany during the evacuation process, and it is alleged that the Taliban forced him to return to the country by taking his son hostage.
Hamidullah’s son has also confirmed the murder of his father.
So far, the Taliban have not commented on the matter.
Bahlol had been working at the GIZ office in Nangarhar province before the Taliban recaptured Kabul.
He left the country after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban.
Despite the Taliban’s announcement of a general amnesty, the group continues to detain, torture, and even kill former government officials, international organization employees, and other civilians and military personnel under various pretexts.
