The deputy head of the Office of the Prison Administration, Habibullah Badr, said that there are 25 foreign nationals currently in the prisons of the Islamic Emirate.
In an interview with TOLOnews, Badr said that they were detained for committing various crimes, but he did not give details.
“The total detainees of foreign nationals are nearly 25 who are detained on charges with criminal cases,” he said.
Badr said that of over 19,000 detainees, approximately 800 are women and more than 200 are members of the Islamic Emirate.
“The women are between 800 to 850 detainees. Some of them are to be released and some others are newly coming to the prison. The rest of the detainees are men,” he said.
Badr also stated that around 100,000 detainees were freed from prisons after the Islamic Emirate came to power based on the amnesty decree of the Islami Emirate’s leader.
He also stressed efforts to codify a law for reforms within the prisons across the country.
“Since the return of the Islamic Emirate, we have released around 100,000 people from the prison,” Badr said.
According to him, 1,500 Afghans detained in Iran have been transferred to the country and they are now spending their prison term in Afghanistan.
