Taliban’s Supreme Court Delegation Leaves For Iran
Abdul Malik Haqqani, the administrative deputy of the Taliban’s Supreme Court, left for Iran on Friday, January 17, along with a delegation.
During its two-day visit, the delegation is scheduled to meet and discuss with the Iranian Minister of Justice, the head of the Extradition Committee for Convicts, and other high-ranking officials of the Islamic Republic.
The Taliban’s Supreme Court said that the purpose of this trip is to strengthen judicial cooperation, ensure the rights of Afghan prisoners in Iran, seek an alternative way for Afghans sentenced to death in Iran, and pursue the issue of the extradition of prisoners.
According to the Human Rights Organisation Hengaw, the Islamic Republic of Iran executed at least 74 Afghan prisoners in 2024.
Earlier, a delegation from the Iranian Ministry of Justice had traveled to Kabul. Following these talks, it was agreed that Afghan prisoners would be transferred from Iran to Afghanistan to serve their sentences.
