Qari Esa Mohammadi, known for his vocal criticism of the Taliban, has successfully left Iran.

He conveyed to Afghanistan International that he boarded a flight from Iran and has arrived at a secure destination.

The Taliban had sought his extradition from the Iranian authorities to bring him back to Afghanistan.

Mohammadi shared in his communication that he is expected to reach his residence in Germany by Wednesday. He showed appreciation for the support from the public and the media's attention to his travel restrictions. However, Mohammadi noted his current unpreparedness for extensive dialogue owing to the prevailing conditions.

Previously, Mohammadi disclosed to Afghanistan International that he was under a travel ban by the Iranian government, which had twice thwarted his attempts to depart for Germany.

Residing in Germany, Mohammadi explained that his business endeavours were the reason behind his visit to Iran.
