Two local sources confirmed that young activist Ehsan Saadat was arrested by Taliban intelligence four days ago from a private educational center in central Khost. His whereabouts remain unknown. Taliban reportedly told his family he would be released soon if they kept the arrest quiet.
Four days have passed and Saadat remains in detention. Sources say he had repeatedly criticized Pakistan's policies toward Afghanistan on Facebook before his arrest, which they believe is the likely reason for his detention. The Taliban have made no comment on the matter.
This case again highlights serious concerns about arbitrary detentions and pressure on civil activists in Afghanistan. Saadat's family is deeply worried and is calling for his immediate release.
