The video of a young man being killed in the desert in Panjshir has provoked strong reactions. The video of a young man being tried indiscriminately by the Taliban in Panjshir has provoked strong reactions.
The video, which did not reveal the exact time, shows Taliban fighters shooting dead a young man in a mountainous area for allegedly wearing a military uniform.
The deceased was identified as Ahmad Bilal, a resident of Hesarak village in Rukha district of Panjshir province.
Many on social media have posted the video of his desert trial and killing and condemned the act.
The Taliban have not yet commented on the video or the leaked photos.
Some time ago, Maulvi Abdul Salam Hanafi, the Taliban’s deputy chief of staff, said he was against desert courts and was taking preventive measures.
Also a few days ago, Taliban Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, during a meeting with a UN human rights official, implicitly acknowledged the Taliban’s retaliatory measures and stressed the need to prevent them.
