Former Soldier Succumbs to Multiple Torture by Taliban: A Tragic Tale from Badakhshan
Local sources in Badakhshan have reported the tragic demise of a former soldier due to enduring multiple instances of torture inflicted by the Taliban  ...the Pashtun equivalent of men...within this province. According to sources on Sunday, August 6th, the individual identified as Faraidoon hailed from the Jerm district in Badakhshan. These sources reveal that over the course of the past eight months, Faraidoon were tossed into the calaboose and subjected to torture on four separate occasions by the Taliban. These brutal acts were carried out under the pretext of his alleged collaboration with the former government. As per the information provided by these sources, in the most recent case, Faraidoon was apprehended by the Taliban just two weeks ago. After enduring excruciating torture, he was eventually released from captivity with the intervention of tribal elders. Regrettably, despite surviving the torment, his kidneys had suffered irreversible damage. Additional information from these sources underscores that Faraidoon had previously served as a local police officer for five years under the Ministry of Interior Affairs of the previous government. It is crucial to note that the detention, torture, and even killing of former military personnel by the Taliban is a recurring tragedy. The group has consistently targeted and subjected former government soldiers to various pretexts for torture, and in some instances, they have resorted to outright murder.
