Kabul, (UNI/Xinhua) Deputy Prime Minister of the Taliban-led caretaker government Abdul Salam Hanafi said that no one in the government had the right to hold kangaroo court in Afghanistan, the state-run news agency Bakhtar reported Wednesday.
At a meeting with Deborah Lyons, special representative of the UN Secretary-General for Afghanistan and head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, Hanafi said the policy of the government was clear and no one would be allowed to violate the law.
“No one has the right to arrest or launch extrajudicial court for suspected individuals in Afghanistan and no one would be allowed to do such violation,” Hanafi was quoted by the news agency as saying.
The remarks came amid allegations that armed men of the Taliban-led government are arresting certain individuals, including some girls, on charge of opposing the Taliban-led system or violating the Islamic Emirate’s rules and regulations. UNI/XINHUA
