NSA says release of Taliban prisoners would be conditional

(Last Updated On: April 24, 2021) Afghanistan’s National Security Adviser Hamdullah Mohib said Saturday that the government would release 7,000 Taliban prisoners, demanded by the group as part of the Doha deal, only if the group significantly reduces violence. Addressing a press conference, Mohib urged the Taliban not to demand the release of drug traffickers. “When it comes to releasing of prisoners, the Taliban should prove that the people [to be freed] are not smugglers,” Mohib said. Mohib’s statement comes just days after First Vice President Amrullah Saleh said at a public gathering in Parwan province that “no further release [of prisoners] is going to happen.”
