The Taliban has killed Mohammad Ibrahim Jihadyar, a former Afghan army general, after 2 months of detention. General Jihadyar, according to sources close to his family, was arrested 2 months ago from his home in the Afghan capital, Kabul. His son confirmed his death on Wednesday in a Facebook post.
In a tweet on 5 January, Naseer Ahmad Faiq, the Chargé d’Affaires of Afghanistan Permanent Mission to the UN, condemned the killing of General Jihadyar, questioning the Taliban’s amnesty pledge.
Where is your General Amnesty @Zabehulah_M33 @naeem_wardak?
Killing former security forces who are unarmed and trusted your Amir's amnesty announcement is against Islam and Afghan culture.
کجاست اعلام عفوه عمومی شما؟ آیا پیروی از امر امیر شما صرف در قسمت زنان واجب اطاعت است؟ https://t.co/npbSkL3kqV— Naseer A. Faiq (@faiq_naseer) January 5, 2023
The Taliban announced a “general amnesty” for the previous Afghan government officials days after taking control of Kabul, which it has consistently violated, by killing hundreds of former government soldiers and employees.
