[ToloNews] The Afghan government on Thursday released 75 Hizb-e-Islami party members that had been imprisoned in Pul-e-Charkhi prison in east of Kabul city, officials confirmed.

Hizb-e-Islami says the prisoners released had been jailed for political reasons but human rights organizations accuse them of having been involved in insurgent attacks where ‘many’ civilians lost their lives.
The prisoners were released based on a peace agreement signed between President Ashraf Ghani and Hizb-e-Islami leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar in September 2016. Hekmatyar returned to the country after 20 years.

It was the third batch of Hizb-e-Islami prisoners who were released on Thursday. The first batch of prisoners were released last year in May which included 55 people.
Later in the year the second group of them were released which included 13 people.
President Ashraf Ghani and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar signed the peace agreement at a ceremony on September 2016.
