Local sources report that Taliban fighters killed a young man named Mozamel Ayar Nikzad in Nijrab district of Kapisa province on Monday night, July 18.

Residents said that Nikzad, who left home to go to his farm around 10:00pm, was shot at by the Taliban.

It has been reported that he was a member of the Afghanistan National Army in the previous government.

According to human rights organizations, despite the Taliban’s general amnesty announcement after their takeover on August 15, 2021, there have been many arbitrary killings in Panjshir and other northern provinces of Afghanistan.
