We demand the immediate release of Professor Faizullah Jalal from his unlawful detainment based on fabricated „evidence“. Also Taliban have to come to terms with public criticism.
Professor Faizullah Jalal was arrested today in Kabul reportedly for making allegations against govt departments, a security source said, adding Jalal is now being interrogated by the intelligence dept. Jalal’s family confirmed his arrest. Officials have not yet commented.

Main problem 4 viability of a Taliban governance: 1) infringing upon the freedoms of 50% of the population, 2) dealing constantly with the least important or non-issues 3) neglecting the real challenges of food, health, education + economy 4) alienating intern donors + community

Shocked and appalled by yet another heinous assassination of someone like Dawn Khan Menapal who cared about the free flow of information. So that citizen’s can scrutinize their government.
We will never forget.
