Taliban Transfers Hundreds Of Prisoners Accused Of Collaborating With NRF To Bagram

Reliable sources reported to Afghanistan International that the Taliban has transferred hundreds of prisoners accused of being associated with the Afghan National Resistance Front (NRF) to Bagram Prison.

At least three sources confirmed that most of them are from Panjshir, Parwan, Kapisa, Baghlan, Takhar and other northern regions of Afghanistan.

Sources said that most of the prisoners were transferred from Pul-e-Charki prison to Bagram.
The number of these prisoners is not yet known, and the Taliban has not yet commented on the transfer of prisoners to Bagram.

Bagram Prison is a part of Bagram Air Base, which had been in the hands of US-led international coalition forces for the past two decades and served as the main centre of the war against the Taliban and ISIS.

Hundreds of "dangerous" prisoners, including commanders and fighters of the Taliban and ISIS, were kept there.

With the withdrawal of international forces and the fall of the Afghan government, the Taliban captured this base and released the prisoners.

This year, sources informed Afghanistan International that the Taliban had activated this prison and transferred a number of prisoners there. A source said that the Taliban has also taken some of the military prisoners of the previous government .

In the past three years, the Taliban has arrested hundreds of people accused of collaborating with anti-Taliban fronts, being members of ISIS, and even critical activities such as journalists, women, and university professors. Numerous reports from human rights organisations have also been published about severe torture and mistreatment of prisoners by the Taliban.

Before the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan, Bagram Airfield was the largest US military base in the country.

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has repeatedly criticised the fact that the Bagram base has been "occupied" by China after the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan. During his election campaigns, he spoke about the recapture of Bagram base.
