Local sources said that the Taliban has imprisoned Abdul Ghaffar Moradi, a former anti-Soviet jihadi commander, since the past 10 days. According to the sources, Taliban members had arrested 15 people from Aybak city in Samangan province over the past week.
The group has released the other arrested individuals with the mediation of local elders, but they have kept Moradi imprisoned.
The sources said that Moradi is being tortured during the Taliban detention.
It has been said that these people had been arrested by the Taliban after a flag of the National Resistance Front (NRF) had been hoisted in Dare Zindan village of Samangan Province.
The Taliban has accused Moradi of collaborating with the NRF forces. However, Moradi's relatives have said that Moradi has no affiliation with NRF forces and had not been aware of the people who hoisted the flag in Dare Zindan village.
