UNAMA has stated in a report that prisoners are being mistreated in prisons and detention centers in Afghanistan. We strongly reject this propaganda.
It is not permissible to beat, mistreat and or torture anyone in the Islamic Emirate's military and civil institutions, including prisons and detention centers.
According to the decree of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Emirate, beating and torturing is strictly prohibited unless there is a court order and every relevant institution is obliged to comply with this decree.
In the prisons of the Islamic Emirate, prisoners are provided with all kinds of facilities, including education, vocational training and necessary services, and no one faces any hardship.
Unfortunately, during the occupation under the supervision of UNAMA, thousands of Afghans were imprisoned in the prisons of Bagram, Pulcharkhi and other provinces without any crime or reason, they were
deprived of all human rights and subjected to severe torture. Now, that the situation has improved, there is no beating or torturing of prisoners, they have been provided with all facilities and they can see their relatives.
Considering the above, spreading such propaganda is not a proper act and should be stopped.
