On Friday, a group of protestors held a rally in Torkham demanding the “release of Pakistani citizens detained by the Taliban” in Afghanistan.

The charges leading to the arrest of these Pakistani citizens by the Taliban in Afghanistan remain undisclosed, as does the exact number of individuals detained.

The Taliban has not commented on this matter yet.

As per the report from the Express Tribune, the demonstrators urged Pakistani authorities to initiate communication with Kabul, emphasising on the urgent repatriation of these detained Pakistani citizens back to their country.

They also asked the Pakistani authorities to take back the confiscated passports of these individuals from the Taliban.

One of the protesters told Express Tribune that these Pakistani citizens entered Afghanistan with visas, however, they were arrested by the Taliban.
