Taliban Arrests Third Member of Panjshiri Family in Kabul

Earlier, the Taliban had also arrested the student's brother and cousin.

Sources close to Murshid's family said that the Kabul University student had not committed any crime and the Taliban did not explain why they had arrested him.

Less than three months ago, the Taliban had arrested Shams-ur-Rahman Raheeq, Murshid's brother, and Atta-ur-Rahman, his cousin, in Kabul.

According to sources close to this family, Shams ur-Rahman Raheeq was an employee of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) who cooperated with the UN agency in humanitarian activities and the distribution of humanitarian aid. His uncle's son, Atta-ur-Rahman, was also a university student.

UNAMA has not yet commented on the arrest of Raheeq.

The source said that the Taliban had killed Seyed Faqir Rahmani, the father of Murshid, and another one of their relatives in Panjshir last year.

So far, the Taliban has not commented on the arrest of members of this family.
