Islamic Emirate detains foreign nationals, including Americans, on various charges
Zabiullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, revealed that several foreign nationals, including Americans, have been apprehended on charges related to various issues, notably security concerns.
Speaking to reporters in Kabul, Mujahid stated that the fate of these detainees would be determined by the interim government after thorough investigations into their cases.
During his press briefing, Mujahid underscored that the detainees would be released if found innocent, but he refrained from disclosing the exact number of individuals currently in custody. The primary reasons for their detention, as mentioned by Mujahid, are suspicions of involvement in security-related activities or actions deemed contrary to Afghanistan's laws and principles of living.
"We investigate and assess the extent of their involvement in criminal activities. If they are not proven criminals, they will be released. However, for those found guilty, we will seek an appropriate resolution," clarified Mujahid.
In response to queries about the American detainees, the spokesperson did not provide specific details. Earlier, the US Department of State had confirmed that American officials held discussions with the Islamic Emirate delegation in Doha, covering a range of topics, including the issue of American citizens being held in Afghanistan.
The situation remains closely monitored, as the fate of the detained foreign nationals hangs in the balance pending the outcome of the investigations and decisions by the interim government. International attention is focused on how the Islamic Emirate will handle the cases of those in custody and whether any further developments will unfold in this matter. (ILKHA)
