Taliban intelligence in Herat has arrested Ghulam Nabi Mudassir, a civil activist and university lecturer. His relatives say he has been held for 15 days with no information about his condition or whereabouts.
Sources say Mudassir was detained on August 18 from the Jibrail district of Herat. The reason cited is his sharing of news about protests by Jibrail residents and reporting on a protester who was killed during the demonstrations.
His family has called on media outlets and human rights organizations to advocate for his release. During the June Jibrail protests, Taliban forces killed one young man and wounded at least four others, with at least 17 protesters arrested.
