Nabi Kohistani, a former military officer, was found dead in Kapisa province just two months after being deported from Iran . Local sources report that he was shot by unknown gunmen in the Rig-e-Ravan village under mysterious circumstances, adding to the growing list of targeted killings.
This incident highlights the ongoing danger for former government affiliates, despite the Taliban’s general amnesty. The US State Department and UNAMA have documented numerous cases of arbitrary killings and detentions of former security personnel across provinces like Panjshir, Kandahar, and Herat .
Taliban officials have not commented on Kohistani’s death. Human rights reports suggest that many such victims are falsely accused of affiliation with resistance groups to justify revenge killings by security forces or local commanders .
