Kabul – The Taliban interim government has ordered that the cases of all prisoners and detainees be handled and their fate must be determined in accordance with Islamic law.
The cabinet of the Taliban on Tuesday, November 23, told all relevant sections not to detain prisoners for more than a certain period of time.
The prisoners’ cases should be referred to the judiciary, the cabinet stressed.
The cabinet meeting of the acting Taliban government said that the needs of the prisoners should be solved and their rights should be fully respected.
At the same time, the cabinet has set up a commission headed by the Supreme Court and has said that the cases of all legal and criminal prisoners should be handled and their fate must be determined in accordance with Islamic law.
In the past, most prisoners during the previous regime repeatedly claimed to have been detained for no reason or for too long.
Moreover, the process has continued since the Taliban took control, and many people have been arrested or imprisoned without knowing their fate.
Meanwhile, the Taliban had released all prisoners, including criminal prisoners, after coming to power, and that only some criminals and people detained on suspicion of being members of ISKP were currently being held in prisons.
