Taliban’s Intelligence Agency Arrests Group’s Social Media Influencer in Kabul

Islamabad police officials confirmed to Afghanistan International that all 175 Afghans detained in Pakistan have been transferred to a prison in Rawalpindi.

In its earlier statement, Pakistani police did not mention that all these 175 people are Afghans.

According to the police, these people have been accused of violating the law based on Article 14 of Pakistan's Foreign Nationals Registration Act.

Several Afghan refugees informed Afghanistan International on Monday that the Pakistani police entered the houses of Afghan immigrants for inspection and arrested them.

According to a refugee representative, who did not want to be named in the report, some of the detainees are women and children.

In the past two years, when a wave of Afghan refugees entered Pakistan after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, Islamabad has repeatedly detained these Afghans.

These migrants have said that the UN agencies and human rights groups have not done enough to protect their rights and prevent their persecution.

According to the sources, after the Taliban imposed a ban on music in Afghanistan, Nuristani continued to live as an ordinary citizen in his village in Nuristan province.

Relatives of the singer said that he had "no personal enmity”, and the motive behind his murder is still unclear.

The local Taliban authorities have not reacted to the news of the murder of the Afghan singer.

Muslim Nuristani appeared in local media inside Afghanistan before the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban and performed local songs of Nuristan province.

Ahmadi has been arrested in the city of Khairpur in the province of Sindh when she was on her way to Islamabad.

In an audio clip that Ahmadi sent to Afghanistan International on Tuesday, she said that despite the fact that she had the UN refugee documents, the Pakistani police arrested her, and she has been in the custody of the Pakistani police for five hours.

The 7th International Jiu-Jitsu Competition was held in Karachi, Pakistan on Sunday. Athletes from Pakistan, Afghanistan, the United States, and Canada participated in these competitions, and Ahmadi, an Afghan female jujitsu fighter, was able to win the gold medal.

Arezoo Ahmadi participated in this international competition on behalf of the Afghan refugee team living in Pakistan and succeeded in the 48 kg weight category and became the champion.

Moezuddin Ahmadi, the director of information and culture of Badakhshan, confirmed to Afghanistan International that the attack took place on Tuesday morning when the deputy governor was on his way to the Taliban’s provincial court.

Ahmadi stressed that investigation into this attack is currently ongoing.

So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack on the Taliban’s deputy governor in Badakhshan province.

According to Yoon, the Taliban want to turn the Zhwandoon TV headquarters into a religious school.

In a press conference, he emphasised that the reign of those who have lived in Pakistan for many years is “detrimental” to the people of Afghanistan because the current rulers mistreat the citizens of Afghanistan.

Yoon said that if his TV station stops operation, around 60 people will lose their jobs.

Ismael Yoon, who has always been accused of supporting the Taliban, said that those who had destroyed bridges, have been appointed as the ministers in charge of public works, and those who destroyed the electricity pylons became minister of water and electricity, but those who served Afghanistan have been accused of treason.

Yoon who is also a lecturer at Kabul University said that “this is the sad destiny of Afghanistan for fifty years now”.

Yoon also said that Zhwandoon TV has been built on government land that was leased to him by the former government "to promote Afghan culture”.

The owner of the TV station added that the Taliban have now asked him to pay $18,000 in rent to the group, otherwise, he has to vacate the property.

Ismail Yoon and his TV station have been controversial names in Afghanistan's public space for the past twenty years. Many have accused him of inciting hatred and creating rifts between Afghanistan's ethnic groups.

He recently told the Taliban leaders that he would give 95 marks for the performance of the Taliban in providing security in Afghanistan.
