Three Nights in Taliban Custody; Pressure on Former Military Personnel Continues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aref Amiri, a former Afghan military officer from Daikundi Province, stated that during a short trip to Herat, he was detained by the Taliban and held in their prison for three nights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His detention has renewed concerns regarding the status of former security and defense personnel, who, despite the announcement of a \u201cgeneral amnesty,\u201d remain at risk of arrest and harsh treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Mr. Amiri, his sudden detention caused waves of worry and protest among friends, colleagues, and local residents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He emphasized that after widespread public appeals and intervention by influential local figures, including Arbab Sahib Haji Ghoryani, he was conditionally released.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amiri is now living with his family in Iran and has expressed gratitude for the support that led to his release.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This incident occurs amid repeated reports over the years of targeted arrests, suspicious disappearances, and even killings of former military personnel;<\/strong><\/p>\n

reports that have fostered fear and distrust among ex-forces. Many former personnel have noted that the announced amnesty has not practically guaranteed their safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aref Amiri has promised to share further details about his detention and experiences in custody at a later time.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
