The front expressed concern over the Taliban's treatment of prisoners and said that the group's behavior is proof of their accountability in the future.

Afghanistan International's investigative report on 31 types of torture in Taliban prisons has sparked widespread reactions.

Following these reactions, the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF) on Wednesday, December 11, described the report as "shocking".

The front wrote, "Afghanistan International TV has recorded a corner of the mountain of the Taliban’s crimes in an investigative report that is the result of interviews with nearly 100 of our oppressed prisoners."

The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF) has also expressed sympathy for the victims of the Taliban's torture in prisons.

Earlier, the Afghanistan Freedom Front also responded to the report, saying, "The walls of Taliban prisons will collapse."

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has denied Afghanistan International's investigative report on the torture of prisoners, claiming that the group takes care of prisoners.

Shaheen wrote on social media platform X that he spoke with the French diplomat about the health sector, NGOs and the technical needs of Kabul airport.

The Taliban official did not release further details about the conversation.

Earlier, sources told Afghanistan International that the Taliban leader had called an emergency meeting of the Taliban government's cabinet in Kandahar and labeled foreign institutions in Afghanistan as "spies" and called for their closure.

According to sources, a number of members of the Taliban's cabinet opposed the request, saying that it is "not possible to make a decision on this issue in one day”.

In a statement, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid mourned Haqqani’s death, calling it a “great loss” for the group.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, expressed shock over the killing, condemning it as a “terrorist attack”. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s strong stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

Haqqani, who was killed in an explosion at the Ministry of Refugees in Kabul on Wednesday, had been urging Afghan refugees to return to Afghanistan in recent months, asserting that “security has been restored” in the country.

According to sources, the explosion occurred while Haqqani was hosting a public meeting at the ministry. Reports indicate that the attack was likely a suicide bombing.

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said in a statement on Wednesday, December 11, that the meeting will be held at 7:30pm Afghan time.

The meeting is expected to review the human rights situation and the situation of women in Afghanistan.

Earlier in September, the UN Security Council held a meeting on Afghanistan to discuss the situation in the country.

Earlier, local sources had reported an explosion at the Taliban’s Ministry of Refugees in Kabul.

Taliban officials are yet to comment on the incident.

Daud Naji, the political head of the Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF), denied involvement in the assassination of Khalil Haqqani.
Naji told Afghanistan International that the AFF does not carry out assassinations and that the explosion was caused due to internal disputes within the Taliban.
