Reports indicate that former military personnel in Panjshir province continue to face the threat of arbitrary arrest and torture by the Taliban government. Local authorities frequently detain these individuals under the pretext of collaborating with armed opposition groups or hiding weapons.
Many soldiers from the previous government have been forced into hiding or have fled the region entirely out of fear. Several formerly detained individuals recount spending days in unofficial, private prisons without any formal charges or evidence against them.
Following any guerrilla attack on security forces, the pressure and scrutiny on local residents intensify significantly. Human rights activists have consistently criticized these retaliatory actions, urgently calling for an immediate halt to arbitrary detentions across Afghanistan.
