Taliban Defense Minister Orders Forces To Respect Amnesty

Acceptance: The Taliban’s new Defense Minister, Mullah Mohammad Yacoub, has ordered all forces to honor the general amnesty announced by the leadership after the takeover of Kabul.

Yakub said in an audio message on Thursday evening that no one is allowed to take revenge on anyone in Afghanistan after the apology was announced.

He said any Taliban member who has a personal conflict should take the matter to court and solve the problem there, Tolonnews reported.

The defense minister of the caretaker cabinet further said that since he had heard reports that Taliban forces had killed people with whom he had personal conflicts, such cases would not be tolerated.

The message follows allegations from several families of former security personnel who say that members of their families have been jailed by Taliban forces.

Several families have complained that their members are still being detained by forces and urged the Taliban to free them by seizing power in Afghanistan last month.
